Rowr, someone's being catty. Anyone who starts a sentence with "wuzn't" isn't exactly concentrating on proper spelling, dear. So deep breath...feel better now?

And to answer your question, Thomas Paine emigrated from Great Britain to the US in 1774 and is best known for his powerful revolutionary message in Common Sense. Our resident Thomas Paine channels his eloquence. Neither was alive during Lincoln's time. Why do you ask?

Wow, thanks Cheyenne. I was only aware of the Founding Father, not a similarly named Civil War man. Learn something new everyday.

Gee, and here I thought I had finally achieved Literotica stardom -- my own thread. Oh well, easy come, easy go...

And thanks, Mischka, but there are days I feel old enough to have hung with Honest Abe.
