In Memoriam.

It's sad to see that in this "Demon-Haunted World" where creationism is touted as a serious alternative "theory" for Kansas schoolchildren, that our great voice of rationalism and inquiry, Dr. Sagan, is no longer with us to fight the good fight.

His pleas for international peace and the futility of missile defense systems fall on deaf ears in Washington, at least until January 20th, 2009.

Hopefully, we will discover some extraterrestrial life in the next few decades and name it in honor of Carl.
