One of my heroes who was instrumental in starting a revolution in America, then he moved to France and did the same, then he was on the way to doing it in England before they exiled him. All with words. Thomas Paine.
They nearly killed him in France but he got away with the help of James Monroe. When he died in 1809 only 6 people attended his funeral because he had been ostracised for his attacks on Christianity and the nations's leaders. My Kinda guy.
