I should be studying at now but I cannot leave this forum without saying that I am 38 and COSMOS (Carl Sagan indeed) series influenced my life as no other person in my life. It sounds bizarre to me but it is true. He is my hero. A romantic hero. I recorded on old VHS tape the complete 13 chapters when I was 19. And many years after that I got a marvelous gift, the DVD collection, from my beloved wife (she knows how important it was to me). And just a couple of years ago I bought the spanish version for my sons. I want them to "fall in love" like I was...

Now I'm delighted with Richard Dawkins; rediscovering him (I'd read "The Selfish Gene" at 17 or so). And I'm also seeing the same *bright* and brilliant kind of person that I saw in Sagan. That gives me hope. Reading comments on these pages makes me feel that I'm not alone. Moreover I think it's time to realize that we cannot stay quiet anymore. We should achieve a critical mass to change the world, the view of the world, our pale blue dot...

Every person here can do things like sending emails (with the video URL), talk to kids about series like Cosmos and other stuff like Dawkins DVDs and books and many others like them, etc.
I'm doing it has a father of two sons and teacher on secondary school. It's our duty!
