[edit] Tom Paine

The article misses one of the most likely candidates - Tom Paine. PhilLiberty 06:49, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Do you have evidence towards that? Simply because Paine was not an advocate of the British monarchy cannot point towards him being a candidate, otherwise you might as well include all 'Whigs' - in the loosest term possible - and supporters of 1789 and later Napoleon as potential writers. Paine wasn't the only one to advocate American Independence; albeit a prominent one.

The article in general is written very poorly in terms of viewpoint, a more neutral approach would help (for example, the bit about Franklin becoming a "rabid American rebel" is just ridiculous). It's a wikipedia article, not a rant against C18th figures. Crimson Blacknight (talk) 16:33, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
