 We probably could use more Sagans. The one drawback of your
 argument is that the people who start the "abduction" theories
 don't listen to Sagans. They never have. It usually not because
 they're born dumb. They have "theories". There are a number of 
 people responding to sci.* posts who are -trying- to educate the
 public. The public has their own theories of how the universe
 works. If you've ever read sci.physics you know what I mean.
 If the public doesn't understand the energy-time-engineering 
 requirements of space travel, it's hard to give them an 
 argument that "abductions" aren't happening.
