I think probably the pursuit of origins is familiar to us, almost any of us are curious about the world. How did this happen? Why? It's a basic question. But I was wondering why, if in your opinion, the historical origins of our society or our politics, why they remain important, we could just barrel forward?

Well, I think that's always the tension in American society, and we're certainly seeing that now.

How much do we stay rooted in the 18th

century in this document, the Constitution and in the Bill of Rights? Or how much do we interpret it? Or how much do we, to what extent do we say, you know, that's antique, that's old hat. We have to, we're different people now. We're different people now. This is a world of, you know, it's a digital world, and it's a world that they couldn't have comprehend it then. So I mean, I think all of us in our various ways have to wrestle with that, and you see that sort of from the left wing and right wing approaches to the Constitution, for example. The one wants to stay literally with the letter of the Constitution and the other wants to interpret it more to modern

times.
