We are at the very beginning of time for the human race. It is not unreasonable that we grapple with problems. But there are tens of thousands of years in the future. Our responsibility is to do what we can, learn what we can, improve the solutions, and pass them on.

To get people to do needed things is the perennial hard task of government, not to mention of religion and philosophy.

The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world's problems.

We need a government, alas, because of the nature of humans.

We can't do without government, but we do need it to be more effective.

We have to deal with the world as we find it. The world of what it takes to get this done.

We've been programmed, from the time that we were very, very little, about what we can't do - about what is impossible.

We have the tools, but we have to learn how to use them. That is my political philosophy.

We have to achieve what we can, and if we haven't yet learned that we are not always going to get our way this could be frustrating.
