I like to think that we can do better. I like to think that we can make the world a better place. Maybe I'm too much of an optimist, and you would probably never get that impression from this podcast, but I think that it is important to remember that for every problem in the world, there is a solution. We may not like the solution, and it may be difficult, but there are ways to improve on problems that we see around us. That is one thing I am going to try to emphasize today.
