Philip Kevin Paulson, who fought a 17-year legal battle to remove the Mount
Soledad cross from public property, died Wednesday of liver cancer. He was
59.
Paulson, a 6-foot-5 Vietnam veteran who lived in City Heights, became so
passionate about the separation of church and state that he filed a civil
lawsuit against the city of San Diego in 1989 without an attorney. He won
the case, and as the appeals dragged on he became one of the county's most
reviled and respected characters.

That's a shame. I heard his interview on the FFRF's Podcast a while back.
It was very informative. If anyone hasn't heard it, this would be a
fitting occasion to visit ffrf.org and download it.
