I had to dig through several books this evening to find this one particular quote from Carl Sagan.

In light of all the garbage on this board about corruption at a very local level, I thought it was appropriate.

Take a turn and post one of your favorites!

“One of the saddest lessons of history is this:

If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle.

We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth.

The bamboozle has captured us.

It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken.

Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.”

― Carl Sagan,
