Men remain ludicrously optimistic about the outcome of prospective battles until the first blows jolt them, like sleepy drunks, into reality and a hasty and often inadequate defence. Better adapted animals would assess the real situation to be prepared with an appropriate response.

The Wisdom of Carl
Trends working at least marginally towards the implantation of a very narrow range of attitudes, memories and opinions include control of major television networks and newspapers by a small number of similarly motivated powerful corporations and individuals, the disappearance of competitive daily newspapers in many cities, the replacement of substantive debate by sleaze in political campaigns, and episodic erosion of the principle of the separation of powers.
Carl Sagan, The Demon Haunted World (1996)
