These words in the introduction to Thomas Paine’s “Common Sense” pamphlet gave me pause:
“…a long habit of not thinking a thing wrong, gives it a superficial appearance of being right, and raises at first a formidable outcry in defence of custom.”
As we prepare for the celebration of the independence of our great country the history of Marblehead, MA has a profound meaning to Americans. My hometown’s official website presents these words in explaining the quaint and old seaside town -
“…Marblehead, a town in love with liberty and rugged individualism. Its people and history, its crooked lanes and irregular houses, its customs and humor defy conformity and dullness. The irreligious settlers, the adventurous fishermen, the zealous patriots of 1776, the daring privateers of 1812, the clipper ship captains and yesteryear’s fish peddlers imbued their town with a spirit as hardy as the rocky peninsula itself.”
So in keeping with the spirit of my hometown and my country I offer you a downloadable document listing clickable links to government in Marblehead, MA.
Makes common sense right?
