Ran across an interesting interview with Bill Clinton in December 2000, Wired magazine. Here is a quote from him discussing technology’s influence on society. He talked about how access to technology makes some groups more powerful such as terrorists and hate groups. The end of the previous paragraph made the point that for all the bad, in the long run we still move towards justice.

“[It’s] sort of a reverse social Darwinism: The more complex societies get and the more complex the networks of interdependence within and beyond community and national borders get, the more people are forced in their own interests to find non-zero-sum solutions. That is, win-win solutions instead of win-lose solutions…. Because we find as our interdependence increases that, on the whole, we do better when other people do better as well – so we have to find wats that we can all win, we have to accomodate wach other. And, on balance, that’s a humanizing and elevating development.”

This whole article changed my view on Clinton. Find it strange that I am much more impressed with politicians AFTER they start acting like the people they truely are. Clinton interviewed in the article knowing that it would not be public until AFTER the election. Little bit of irony: he mentioned that the election would be decided by the time the article was published.
