i think many times we've let the perfect be the enemy of the good. i do hope that there is, like civil rights, like so many social movements in the country, progress is very, very slow. and i think the reason for that is that this is a human undertaking. i know you're a better person than i am but i know if i do the right thing, 51% of the time, that's a heck of a good day. and i don't have all that many of those. and the country is not unlike that because a democracy is the fullest manifestation of all of us, of our appetites, our inhibition but also our moments of grace and kindness. we have to do all we can to make the grace and kindness prevail just often enough to make the struggle worthwhile. >> you know i believe that wholeheartedly. john, one of the reasons that we have grown so numb is losing faith in institutions. at this point, public faith in our institutions has hit historic lows. can we even begin to rebuild that trust? is it possible?
