I did not know that we shared a birthday. (Ooops, we don't. His is today, November 9. Reminder to self -- check facts.)
From http://www.quotationspage.com/quotes/Carl_Sagan/
In every country, we should be teaching our children the scientific method and the reasons for a Bill of Rights. With it comes a certain decency, humility and community spirit. In the demon-haunted world that we inhabit by virtue of being human, this may be all that stands between us and the enveloping darkness.
----Carl Sagan

Here's hoping that next year, Carl Sagan Day is celebrated in many locations.
