(...) Yes, and it remains a landmark series and definitely worth renting (I think there are 9 episodes). The public library AV department in my town had the video series in their PBS section, maybe yours does too. I don't know if places like (...) (24 years ago, 4-Apr-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) Well, I'm not interested in getting into your other debate, but I disagree with your opinion on this point. I think that is *exactly* the *difference* between courtesy & respect - one is given freely, the other is earned. ROSCO (24 years ago, 4-Apr-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) 100% not true. Actually, it was the WAY Sagan said "billions" that got him into trouble.
