We haven’t reached perfection, but we have become more tolerant.

Question: Collectively, what should we be doing?

Dan Glickman:Well I think that we as a country . . . we should be a) reforming our political system to minimize the role of political contributions into the system, because I think it paralyzes the American political system, and makes it so our system doesn’t deal with some of the bigger problems quite as easily as we should do. I think we should look at our educational system and . . . It’s not just a resource question, but it is a serious public policy issue about how we can make dramatic improvements in our public school systems in America. Because that relates as much to the future of our businesses than anything else – having talented people.
