[WP] Francois Marie Arouet publishes multiple polemics that very much displease the dominant civil classes so they seize printing presses and mass assassinate his character and caricature him. He goes into seclusion, not for hiding. But because it is the most logical possible thing to do..

Writer François-Marie Arouet, better known as Voltaire, reportedly drank 40 to 50 cups of a chocolate-coffee mixture each day. Although this is much more than the suggested daily intake, the world-famous thinker lived a lengthy life and died when he was 83 years old

Eduardo Inda, el paradigma de la intolerancia citando, [aunque, claro está, equivocándose, y, sin haberlo leído ni entendido, ya que, objetivamente, está en las antípodas de su pensamiento] a un representante de la Ilustración y la Tolerancia, François-Marie Arouet, (Voltaire).

Eduardo Inda, gritón y altanero, con el objetivo de ocultar su ignorancia e intolerancia, sacó a colación, en la Sexta, la frase siguiente: "No estoy de acuerdo con lo que dices, pero defenderé con mi vida tu derecho a expresarlo"....

Uno se queda de piedra, al comprobar el grado de cinismo y de simulación al que pueden llegar algunos; presentándose como defensores de ideas, a las cuales, despues con sus palabras y hechos, repudian.

Pero, además de cinismo y simulación, Eduardo Inda demostró ser también un ignorante. Es el tipo de persona, poco leída, que busca con rapidez en su Tablet la base de su "saber"...En este caso, con los apuros y las ganas de figurar, resulta que le asignó "padre" a la cita que orgulloso acababa de describir....Se la adjudicó a Winston Churchill, el que fuera primer ministro del Reino Unido durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial....En definitiva, el "sabelotodo" Inda se equivocó de autor, de siglo y de país...Y es que la cita era de Voltaire.

Aunque estoy convencido que se le atragantará su lectura le aconsejaría que leyera la obra siguiente: https://www.google.es/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=5&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjsz6PvusLKAhUGXRoKHZq6DPEQFgg2MAQ&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.casadellibro.com%2Flibro-tratado-sobre-la-tolerancia%2F9788467023787%2F1129323&usg=AFQjCNEYojAHzVJDeWbOxASGhcrfG7da7g&sig2=7ZOF4lzdtENUj-Z4nMvOEg&bvm=bv.112454388,d.d24

Me temo que no será así y Eduardo Inda seguirá r que r....Me recuerda al fascista de Novecento....[https://youtu.be/b_Gub-3qVus]

¿Cuándo nos daremos cuenta que personajes como éstos sólo dejarán de existir cuando dejemos de escucharlos?...El problema es que esto no llegará a suceder mientras que, en la vida política de nuestro País, la irracionalidad, la intolerancia, el grito y el insulto, del cual Inda es un auténtico maestro, sigan "dando audiencia"...

Bastard Suggestion: Maximilien Francois Marie Isidore de Robespierre, The Incorruptible

He's the reson why the world has guillotine memes and the metric system. He brought universal male suffrage and freedom of the press to France, and then quickly repealed those rights. He was directly responsible for the official executions of 17,000 French citizens and the deaths of tens of thousands more. He birthed the Reign of Terror and (for the most part) it died with his execution.

He also started a state religion called The Cult of the Supreme Being if that sweetens the deal.

Does anyone know anything about an old french vocalist named something like "marie francois"?

I used to own a record of hers, and it was beautiful, but now I can't find any evidence that she or the record ever existed. I think I'm probably remembering her name wrong, but it's definitely something similar to "Marie Francois" Sorry, I can't provide more info, this is just a desperate shot in the dark.
