Thomas Paine published “Common Sense” unanimously because at the time the content was considered treasonous. When the formed head of the IRS considers TEA Party members to be terrorists, I think we’ve arrived at an equally perilous time in history; perhaps even more so. Paine was promoting secession from England. The TEA Party advocates for lower taxes. Somehow that is now considered a dronable offense by some in power.
I think you meant “anonymously” instead of “unanimously”, but I agree, we live in perilous times when the government has already exacted its official vengeance against groups for disagreeing, and individuals are not far behind, if at all neglected in that regard.
