-Plato

What a great quote. Gotta love Plato.

Here's another Carl Sagan quote for ya, wendybeth. :)

"In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time someting like that happened in politics or religion."

Carl Sagan

Good ole Dr. Sagan...Thanks, MBC!

Here's one right back at ya:

"The politicians and the religious leaders and the weapons scientists have been at it for a long time and they've made a thorough mess of it. I mean, we're in deep trouble." [Carl Sagan, A&E Biography interview]

Ain't that the truth.

"It's an absolutely atrocious piece of science, but I quite despair of setting the public record straight"

---Nobel laureate Freeman Dyson regarding Carl Sagans Nuclear Winter hypotheses

"You cannot teach charades to a bi-polar mime"
