"Emerging from a particularly credulous Southern California culture, Nancy and Ronald Reagan relied on an astrologer in private and public matters -- unknown to the voting public. Some portion of the decision-making that influences the future of our civilization is plainly in the hands of charlatans." -- Carl SaganSagan also blasted that Reagan made Carter look like Cardinal Richelieu, opposed SDI, and nearly singlehandedly gave birth to the global warming movement.
Give me a break, I was a little kid. Reagan (first) got elected when I was 10! I remember getting mad at my mom for voting for Anderson. I know Carl was a whacky lib, but most academics are.
Oh, by the way, Reagan and Thatcher actually did kinda give birth to the global warming thing. They were trying to get the libs to get on board with nuke power. Maggie was VERY vocal about it.
