DENVER -- Writing "in the spirit of The Enlightenment," expressing ideas in development for three decades, Denver-based media and politics journalist Ken Freed has updated Tom Paine's 18th century Common Sense to voice the global sensibility emerging in the 21st Century. Global Sense: Practicing Personal Democracy on Homeland Earth, by Ken Freed, updates Tom Paine's Common Sense "for the these new times of crisis that try our souls." Closely following Paine's structure and logic, Freed reaches original and sometimes startling conclusions about war and peace and "our power for responsible self rule." The chief historian at the Thomas Paine National Historical Association called the work "accurate and faithful to Paine at every turn," adding, "The work itself is an amazing "tour de force" of writing." Distributed free all day on September 11th over the World Wide Web to commemorate the tragic "9/11" attacks a year ago, this first edition of the Global Sense ebook (universal PDF format ) is significantly revised and shortened from the draft edition published for public comment on January 10, 2002, the 226th anniversary of Common Sense. The 24 hours of free Global Sense downloads commence at Midnight in New York on Sept. 11, 2002. Historically, Paine's 1776 Common Sense pamphlet was printed in Philadelphia and distributed by horsecart to all 13 colonies, selling 120,000 copies in three months. Anyone interested in GLOBAL SENSE may download a free copy at http://globalsense.info on Sept. 11. After this one-day commemorative free offer expires, the ebook will be on sale at the website. # # # PRESS INFO: Please visit: http://globalsense.info/pressroom (still being updated for the new edition) Author phone for interviews (NOT for publication): Ken Freed (303-722-2110) Thank you for helping to distribute this news as widely as possible. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 11 Sep 2002 08:01:07 -0500 From: Gleason Sackmann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: K12> Free US Geography Games For Teachers Sent: Tue, 10 Sep 2002 13:28:59 -0700 Subject: Free US Geography Games For Teachers From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Brad Sheppard) Newsgroups: k12.ed.soc-studies This collection of 34 games are an excellent way to learn about our fifty states.
