I listened. As much as I admire Sagan, this doesn’t seem so much a prediction of today as it does a description of 1995. Putting ‘I have a foreboding…’ instead of ‘I see around me…’ in front if your remarks isn’t enough to qualify it as prognostication.

It certainly surprised me. My level of optimism was much higher in 1995. The economy was doing well. Politics were bad but nothing like they are today. No 20 wars going on. In most respects the world looked much brighter to me then but I wasn't looking for bad tidings. I was probably a lot more naïve then as well. I could not have imagined a time when people would reject a live saving vaccine because they just hate liberals so much.
