ouis Pasteur ForMemRS (/'lu?i pæ'st??r/, French: [lwi pastœ?]; 27 December 1822 – 28 September 1895) was a French chemist and microbiologist renowned for his discoveries of the principles of vaccination, microbial fermentation, and pasteurization. His research in chemistry led to remarkable breakthroughs in the understanding of the causes and preventions of diseases, which laid down the foundations of hygiene, public health and much of modern medicine. His works are credited to saving millions of lives through the developments of vaccines for rabies and anthrax. He is regarded as one of the founders of modern bacteriology and has been honored as the "father of bacteriology" and as the "father of microbiology" (together with Robert Koch, and the latter epithet also attributed to Antonie van Leeuwenhoek).

The Forgotten Man

Yale Universty Professor;s Sumner's forgotten man

Yale University professor William Graham Sumner appears to be the first to use the phrase "the forgotten man", in his timeless essay. His algebraic definition of the forgotten man was "C", who is coerced into helping the man at the economic bottom "X", by "A" and "B" who demand charity for "X".[4]

As soon as A observes something which seems to him wrong, from which X is suffering, A talks it over with B, and A and B then propose to get a law passed to remedy the evil and help X. Their law always proposes to determine what C shall do for X, or, in better case, what A, B, and C shall do for X... What I want to do is to look up C. I want to show you what manner of man he is. I call him the Forgotten Man. perhaps the appellation is not strictly correct. he is the man who never is thought of....

I call him the forgotten man...

He works, he votes, generally he prays—but he always pays.....

The kidnapped victims consisted of 25 Americans, 16 Frenchmen, 12 British, 7 Swiss, 7 West Germans and 1 Irish man resulting two unprovoked deaths. The hostage takers bore obscure titles such as the Islamic Jihad Organization (IJO), 

Hostages

With the exception of two  American hostages such as CIA Bureau Chief William Francis Buckley and Marine Colonel  William Higgins (who were both murdered in cold blood), most of the hostages were chosen not for any political activity or alleged wrongdoing, but because of the country they came from and the ease of kidnapping them. Despite this, the hostages complained of and had physical signs of mistreatment, such as repeated beatings and mock execution

Former President Ronald Reagan memorable quotes on Infantcide

“Unless and until it can be proven that an unborn child is not a human being, can we justify assuming without proof that it isn't? No one has yet offered such proof; indeed, all the evidence is to the contrary. We should rise above bitterness and reproach, and if Americans could come together in a spirit of understanding and helping, then we could find positive solutions to the tragedy of abortion.”

-

“More than a decade ago, a Supreme Court decision literally wiped off the books of fifty states statutes protecting the rights of unborn children. Abortion on demand now takes the lives of up to 1.5 million unborn children a year. Human life legislation ending this tragedy will some day pass the Congress, and you and I must never rest until it does. Unless and until it can be proven that the unborn child is not a living entity, then its right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness must be protected.”

-

Reagan sadly admitted that “influential people” have denied that each human life has “intrinsic, sacred worth.” This view, he explained, is part of a dismal “social ethic where some human lives are valued and others are not.” He traced the right to life of unborn children to the Declaration of Independence, and invoked Abraham Lincoln as the “great champion of the sanctity of all human life.” He insisted that the American people must educate themselves to the “reality of the horrors taking place” at abortion clinics.

“Abortion is advocated only by persons who have been born
