Secular Sunday – When Ted Turner Asked Carl Sagan If He Was A “Socialist”

“Socialist” being used as a slur isn’t a recent phenomenon… When Ted Turner asked Carl Sagan if he was a socialist, Sagan gave an answer that redefines what it means to be a civilized society. It isn't about politics or ideology. It is about how we treat the most vulnerable among us. pic.twitter.com/s52TLO42fB — Saganism […]

Saturday Snap – Getting Fancy For Shea’s Christmas Party
