he booked passage to philadelphia.. turning his back on the country, england, that had brought him nothing but despair and disappointment. paine's health deteriorates so much on that long voyage across the ocean, but he staggered off the ship half dead, and he didn't know a soul. when his health finally returned, fully six weeks later, tom paine set about reinventing himself. he added an e to the end of his last name, a signal to himself as much as anyone else that he wanted to start fresh. he began contributing a few columns to a local newspaper, and within a few months he was able to use that brief experience as well as that cursory letter of introduction from ben franklin, philly's favorite son, to get himself a job in philadelphia editing a new gentlemen's magazine there for 50 pounds a year. and it was, i think -- [inaudible] and contributor to this magazine, this pennsylvania magazine that tom paine would hone the skills that he would later use to write "common sense." think about it. editing a gentlemen's magazin

you know, you're mentioning philadelphia, and one of the questions was, why was philadelphia, in your view, such an intellectual center of the late 18th century with paine, priestly, ben franklin, et cetera? any thoughts on that? >> i mean, it's hard to attribute a reason to that, but i certainly agree with the premise of the question, that it is those things. so, just very quickly, folks, back in the 1600s, boston is the largest town or city in america, which is to say, not very large at all. for most of the 1700s, philadelphia would be the largest town or city in america, and in most of the 1800s and afterwards, it will be new york. so, the 18th century, the revolutionary era, is philadelphia's century. and so, the simple fact of its scale, that it's the largest place, that it's a magnet for money and for people also means it's a magnet for ideas and dissent and conversation, and of course, its quaker heritage, founded as a place of religious toleration, where people of different faiths could live side-by-side, you would think would extend intellectual diversity as well, that it wou

so the 18th century, the revolutionary era, is philadelphia's century. so the simple fact of its scale, that it's the largest place, that it's a magnet for money and for people also means it's a magnet for ideas and dissent and conversation. of course, its quakequaker heri is a place where people of different faiths can live side by side, you would think it would extend into intellectual diversity as well if people from different backgrounds and attrition live next to each other. but i think you're right, the scientists and philosophers live in pennsylvania in the 1800s. new york is not yet the city it will become later. franklin's presence there makes a big deal. franklin is a generator and a magnet for other smart, intelligent people to come and rub shoulders with him, so he's a big part of this. >> great. thank you. some kind of kinectic questions here. do you think thomas paine was a visionary thinker or more an effective communicator to other's ideas, and did tom paine have any help in creating common sense? did others provide ideas and help him ref

it's a very hectic scene still in philadelphia. what we've learned so far is that calls for this fire came in about 6:40 this morning. the fire was able to be extinguished 50 minutes later according to the fire department, which you can imagine, is an incredible feat considering how cold the temperatures are outside. that's a three-story home converted into several ame amendments /* apartments and 13 people were killed. what we're learning from the fire department and the police departments still on the scene, they haven't been able to get into the building to try to figure out what may have started this or any more details. however, we are waiting on a news conference from the fire department to give us finer details. as you said, tragic news coming out of philadelphia this morning about this fire. as soon as we get more information, we'll pass that on to you. >> brynn gingras, sad story, thanks so much. >>> still to come this hour, a late night union vote leads to canceled classes in the nation's third largest school district. we

i have lived in philadelphia. i love philadelphia, and, no, i'm not surprised about the talents of the people in philadelphia in moments like this. but then our goose steppers popped up again last month in washington, d.c. they got their white nationalist flag, their little homemade plastic shields and their khakis and their soccer team shin guards, and they marched in form nation down the national mall in what was supposed to be a show of neo-nazi force in our nation's capital. it's supposed to be intimidating. it is a lot of things. it's not intimidating because they are pitiful. but this neo-nazi little boys club that keeps popping up all over the place, they call themselves patriot front. their leader used to run vanguard america, the same idea with the khakis and everything. vanguard america changed its name to patriot front after a member made the murderous decision to drive his car into people at the "unite the right" meeting. patriot front, same idea. here they were this weekend at a march for life event,

offit: so we are opening schools this week in philadelphia. there is no attempt to do distance learning could we want to have on-site learning. we are trying to do everything we can come which is to make sure the teachers have vaccinated, do everything we can to make sure that those over five years of age -- now we can be vaccinated over five years of age -- vaccinated, those over 12 are vaccinated, and to have mask-wearing. this will be an issue for the next four to six weeks, and that i think things will settle down. if we can get to the next four to six weeks, we want kids to be in school. distance-learning is like a contradiction in terms. in philadelphia, it is the only decent meal they get during the day. child abuse is often picked up in the school system. we need kids to go to school. shaun: presumably there are hundreds of schools all of which have to think about protecting their othe staff, like janitors as well as teachers, and so on. in terms of the impact you think this has had, you are a physician of children, so you interact wit

so we're sitting here in philadelphia here in 2021. in the philadelphia that he was living in in 1776 that he marched through on the way to yorktown if you will as well. actually he sailed through it in 1781 and the like but we're part of that imagine community. we're part of an imagined community right now is we're all finally getting to see each other, but then there are those of them who are over there over zoom. so i say hi to you you're part of this imagine community. we're all together to look at this particular history, but the other part that benedict anderson had mentioned in his is that when we form these communities he talked about journeys or pilgrimages between times and statuses and places. so again, we're part of that journey. but these are meaning creating experiences that create the experience of the imagine community. and so i'd like us to consider too that when we look at the continental army as it is marching through the united states the new united states they are creating this community and it's not all imagined.
