Thomas Jefferson's Letter on Religion to Benjamin Rush, contains my favorite quite from a historical Liberals, I also love his disdain for naming places and things for people.

To Dr. Benjamin Rush, September 23, 1800 The Letters of Thomas Jefferson DEAR SIR,

-- I have to acknowledge the receipt of your favor of Aug. 22, and to congratulate you on the healthiness of your city. Still Baltimore, Norfolk & Providence admonish us that we are not clear of our new scourge. When great evils happen, I am in the habit of looking out for what good may arise from them as consolations to us, and Providence has in fact so established the order of things, as that most evils are the means of producing some good. The yellow fever will discourage the growth of great cities in our nation, & I view great cities as pestilential to the morals, the health and the liberties of man. True, they nourish some of the elegant arts, but the useful ones can thrive elsewhere, and less perfection in the others, with more health, virtue & freedom, would be my choice.

I agree with you entirely, in condemning the mania of giving names to objects of any kind after persons still living. Death alone can seal the title of any man to this honor, by putting it out of his power to forfeit it. There is one other mode of recording merit, which I have often thought might be introduced, so as to gratify the living by praising the dead. In giving, for instance, a commission of chief justice to Bushrod Washington, it should be in consideration of his integrity, and science in the laws, and of the services rendered to our country by his illustrious relation, &c. A commission to a descendant of Dr. Franklin, besides being in consideration of the proper qualifications of the person, should add that of the great services rendered by his illustrious ancestor, Bn Fr, by the advancement of science, by inventions useful to man, &c. I am not sure that we ought to change all our names. And during the regal government, sometimes, indeed, they were given through adulation; but often also as the reward of the merit of the times, sometimes for services rendered the colony. Perhaps, too, a name when given, should be deemed a sacred property.

I promised you a letter on Christianity, which I have not forgotten. On the contrary, it is because I have reflected on it, that I find much more time necessary for it than I can at present dispose of. I have a view of the subject which ought to displease neither the rational Christian nor Deists, and would reconcile many to a character they have too hastily rejected. I do not know that it would reconcile the _ β€”*genus irritabile va

Community garden @ Benjamin Rush State Park

Apparently, inside this park, they have one of the largest community gardens in the world? Waaaaaaaaay up Roosevelt Blvd, across the street from the National Guard armory, so I literally just discovered it existed this past weekend.

I’m intrigued, but the website is Geocities-level and I’d like more info, if anyone has ever been or known a member.

The "Father of Psychiatry" Benjamin Rush was also a signer of the Declaration of Independence and the Surgeon General of the Continental Army in the Revolutionary War. Psychiatry is effectively the secular religion of supposedly secular democratic nations.

TIL Benjamin Rush led a campaign to remove George Washington as Commander-in-Chief. After Washington confronted the two men Rush wanted instead, Horatio Gates and Thomas Conway, the conspiracy fell through.
