I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's
time- when the Unites States is a service and information economy; when
nearly all the key manufacturing industries have slipped away to other
countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very
few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the
issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas
or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our
crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties
in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's
true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and
darkness.
-Carl Sagan
