Oh yeah, he was a freaking gem of a man. Please. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Paul_Marat
-- A member of the radical Jacobin faction during the French Revolution, he helped to launch the Reign of Terror. >From a relatively early date, Marat advocated doing away with the monarchy and >raged against more moderate revolutionary leaders. In July 1790 he wrote "Five >or six hundred heads cut off would have assured your repose, freedom and >happiness. A false humanity has held your arms and suspended your blows; >because of this millions of your brothers will lose their lives." He approved >of the September 1792 massacres of jailed "enemies of the Revolution" and >established the "Committee of Surveillance" whose role was to root out >antirevolutionaries. Marat composed the death lists from which the innocent >and the guilty alike were executed. One of his victims may have been the >chemist Antoine Lavoisier. -- > --Jean Paul Marat, 18th Century French Visionary (and revolutionary), > murdered in his bathtub by Royalist Charlotte Corday ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:198324 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
