About on the same level as considering Jane Fonda's opinion on things scientific. On the other hand, maybe Dr. Sagan is just still suffering from his last illness--he looked as poorly as he sounded last night on Late Night America. It's a joke to think that Mondale will carry anyplace except the center of government largesse--W, DC (and maybe P.R.)--and it does not do the space program any good for an advocate like Sagan to choose the wrong side before the election. I've not noted Sagan's support of STAFFED space travel; he seems hung up on robots. As a human chauvinist, and as one will be vote for Bergland and the entire Libertarian ticket, I remain clear-headed and clear-conscienced-- --arlan andrews, ol' time space activist & Libertarian (& M & SF, & etc...) .
