Our utter unimportance in the Universe—and on this planet—is something that started to work itself into my brain in high school, as I began to grasp the sheer scale of it all.

It's sad to think that Sagan passed away almost 30 years ago. But I'm afraid that if he was still alive that he would be shocked to see how the world has followed the dark paths that he warned us about.

Makes me want to go back and read "The Demon-Haunted World" again, just to see how spot-on he was about America's future.
