Carl Sagan... One of my heroes.  His explanation of Evolution broadened my view of how the system works.

I understand the evolution process of species, and our link to other primates in our history, but Sagan opened
my eyes to the total connection between species with one 20 minute program.

Sagan spoke of not just the other primates as our "cousins", or out link to other mammals, but would also speak
about our relationship to all things alive... "OUR COUSINS THE TREES"  Kind of pushes your understanding of evolution.


The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral
philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

I once saw a connection between species at a carnival in Mexico.

A chipmunk in our yard resembles our niece. Just as smart too. It lives with us now and we are homeschooling it!!
