FreeThoughtAction Hero Of The Day - 2/28/07
 Linus Carl Pauling (February 28, 1901 - August 19, 1994) According to Wikipedia, Pauling "was an American quantum chemist and biochemist. He also called himself a crystallographer, molecular biologist, and medical researcher. Pauling is widely regarded as the premier chemist of the twentieth century. He pioneered the application of quantum mechanics to chemistry (quantum mechanics can, in principle, describe all of chemistry and molecular biology), and in 1954 was awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry for his work describing the nature of chemical bonds. He also made important contributions to crystal and protein structure determination, and was one of the founders of molecular biology. He came near to discovering the "double helix," the ultrastructure of DNA, when Watson and Crick made the discovery in 1953. Pauling is noted as a versatile scholar for his expertise in inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, metallurgy, immunology, anesthesiology, psychology, debate, radioactive decay, and the aftermath of nuclear warfare, in addition to quantum mechanics and molecular biology. "Pauling's contribution to science is held by many in the utmost regard. He was included in a list of the 20 greatest scientists of all time by the British magazine New Scientist, with Albert Einstein being the only other scientist from the twentieth century on the list."

Al Qaeda Resurgent
Almost five and a half years ago, America -- united by the shock of 9/11 -- understood exactly what it needed to do.

Despite years of costly warfare in Afghanistan and Iraq, America today is not significantly closer to that essential goal. More...

FreeThoughtAction Hero Of The Day - 02/26/07
 Victor-Marie Hugo (February 26, 1802 - May 1885). According to Wikipedia; Hugo was a Humanist "French poet, novelist, playwright, essayist, visual artist, statesman, human rights campaigner, and perhaps the most influential exponent of the Romantic movement in France. In France his literary reputation rests on his poetic and dramatic output. Among many volumes of poetry, Les Contemplations and La Legende des siecles stand particularly high in critical esteem, and Hugo is sometimes identified as the greatest French poet. In the English-speaking world his best-known works are often the novels Les Miserables and Notre-Dame de Paris (sometimes translated into English as The Hunchback of Notre-Dame). "Hugo's religious views changed radically over the course of his life. In his youth, he identified as a Catholic and professed respect for Church hierarchy and authority. From there he evolved into a non-practicing Catholic, and expressed increasingly violent anti-papist and anti-clerical views. He dabbled in Spiritualism during his exile, and in later years settled into a Rationalist Deism similar to that espoused by Voltaire. When a census-taker asked Hugo in 1872 if he was a Catholic, he replied, 'No. A Freethinker.'" Today is also the birthday of atheist Claude Adrien Helvetius (February 26, 1715 - December 26, 1771). According to Wikipedia, "Helvetius was a French philosopher and litterateur.... His philosophical studies ended in the production of his famous book De l'esprit (On Mind) published in 1758. The book was considered to be heretical, so atheistic that it was condemned by Church and State and was burned." Finally, today is the anniversary of the death of Freethinker William Melvin Hicks, better known as Bill Hicks (December 16, 1961 - February 26, 1994). According to Wikipedia; Hicks "was a controversial American stand-up comedian, satirist, and social critic."
Births And Deaths - 02/24/07 & 02/25/07

We also note the anniversary of the death of atheist Claude Elwood Shannon (April 30, 1916 - February 24, 2001). According to Wikipedia, Shannon was "an American electrical engineer and mathematician, has been called 'the father of information theory,' and was the founder of practical digital circuit design theory.

FreeThoughtAction Hero Of The Day - 2/22/07
 George Washington (February 22, 1732 - December 14, 1799). According to Wikipedia; Washington "led America's Continental Army to victory over Britain in the American Revolutionary War (1775-1783), and was later elected the first president of the United States under the U.S. Constitution. He served two four-year terms from 1789 to 1797, winning reelection in 1792. Because of his central and critical role in the founding of the United States, Washington is referred to as father of the nation. His devotion to republicanism and civic virtue made him an exemplary figure among early American politicians..... "His adopted daughter, Nelly Custis Lewis, stated: 'I have heard her [Nelly's mother, Eleanor Calvert Custis,] say that General Washington always received the sacrament with my grandmother [Martha Washington] before the revolution'. After the revolution, Washington frequently accompanied his wife to Christian church services; however, there is no record of his ever taking communion, and he would regularly leave services before communion -- with the other non-communicants (as was the custom of the day), until he ceased attending at all on communion Sundays. Historians and biographers continue to debate the degree to which he can be counted as a Christian, and the degree to which he was a deist. It should also be noted that Washington was a Freemason. Even a few portraits exist of Washington in Masonic regalia. "Washington was an early supporter of religious toleration. In 1775, he ordered that his troops not show anti-Catholic sentiments by burning the pope in effigy on Guy Fawkes Night. When hiring workmen for Mount Vernon, he wrote to his agent, 'If they be good workmen, they may be from Asia, Africa, or Europe; they may be Mohammedans (Muslims), Jews, or Christians of any sect, or they may be Atheists.'" Some relevant Washington quotes: "We have abundant reason to rejoice that in this Land the light of truth and reason has triumphed over the power of bigotry and superstition ... In this enlightened Age and in this Land of equal liberty it is our boast, that a man's religious tenets will not forfeit the protection of the Laws, nor deprive him of the right of attaining and holding the highest Offices that are known in the United States.""Government being, among other purposes, instituted to protect the consciences of men from oppression, it certainly is the duty of Rulers, not only to abstain from it themselves, but according to their stations, to prevent it in others."
"The United States of America should have a foundation free from the influence of clergy." We salute Washington today as an example of a person free of religious intolerance and bigotry, and supporter of the separation of Church and State.
