great video from the late great Carl Sagan.

He could see beyond politics. It's impossible to imagine what was lost with the burning of The Library of Aalexandria

Knowledge ought to be the legacy of man. But instead we get...superstition, hunger for power, and the short sightedness of difference.

Carl Sagan was a great man. The world was richer because of him. We need more like him.

can we learn from the past, or are we to let the Christian fundamentalist radicals send us back into another "thousand years of darkness"
