  <about><![CDATA[&lt;b&gt;Thomas Paine&lt;/B&gt; was an author, pamphleteer, revolutionary, radical, inventor, intellectual and one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. He was born in England and lived and worked there until age 37, when he emigrated to the British American colonies, in time to participate in the American Revolution. His principal contributions were the powerful, widely-read pamphlet Common Sense (1776), advocating colonial America's independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain, and The American Crisis (1776–1783), a pro-revolutionary pamphlet series.]]></about>    <gender>male</gender>  <hometown>Thetford, England</hometown>  <born_at>01/29/1737</born_at>  <died_at>06/08/1809</died_at>
