    The Pale Blue Dot

    This is something maybe we should give a little more thought to, at least it will make you think.

    And I was hoping it was a new improvement to the red dot scopes!

    Thanks for that. I don't think there's a soul on this planet who wouldn't agree that human nature can be pretty ugly. This line of thinking could help temper things at times.

    Thx for that. I remember watching Carl Sagan shows on TV when I was a teenager.

    Oh and when I saw the title of this thread, I thought you were discussing car audio. Blaupunkt, (German for Blue Point) is an European audio electronics manufacturer.
