Voltaire was born in 1694, in Paris, France as François-Marie Arouet to a prosperous family on November 21, 1694, in Paris, France. He was the youngest of five children born to François Arouet and Marie Marguerite d'Aumart. When Voltaire was just seven years old, his mother passed away. Following her death, he grew closer to his free-thinking godfather. In 1704, Voltaire was enrolled at the Collége Louis-le-Grand, a Jesuit secondary school in Paris, where he received a classical education and began showing promise as a writer.
He was known for him being one of the leading writers in the Enlightenment, quotes, tragic play Zaïre, the historical study The Age of Louis XIV and the satirical novella Candide. He was twice imprisoned and spent many years in exile. He believed in ideas of a free and liberal society, along with freedom of religion and free commerce. He also looked favorably on religious tolerance, even though he could be severely critical towards Christianity, Judaism and Islam. And embraced thinker like Isaac Newton, John Locke and Francis Bacon.
Voltaire viewed the world he lived in as unfair. That is why he fought for the things he fought for, so everyone would be equal, and have equal rights

whale spotted in illinois river
A humpback whale was spotted near Morris IL in the Illinois River today. The sighting comes just days after 2 Great White Sharks were seen frolicking in the same area. While not impossible, it does seem unlikely. It is thought that the whale may have followed the sharks as they sometimes do in the wild. The whale would of had to travel over 1250 miles to get to this location. The Marine Biologist Association will be in town for a full investigation. Until we have answers, we are asking folks to keep their pontoons and fishing boats docked.

two great white sharks found swimming in mississippi river near saint louis, missouri.
While it is not entirely impossible, it is incredibly uncommon for salt water dwelling creatures to stay for lengthy periods of time in fresh water. However, two Great White Sharks have managed to survive the trip and make their way up the Mississippi River somehow. Believed to have started as a mating couple, the two are assumed to have swam the 920 mile journey from the mouth of the Mississippi River that is connected to the Gulf Of Mexico. Officials in Saint Louis have contacted the Missouri Conservation Department and will likely have a team in the river soon to capture the two lost sharks.
