What's the most important issue to you this election season?
Well, as much I would like to say it's the economy, because that's what everybody seems
to think I should say, actually, it's all women's issues, and reproductive rights,
and all the things, social issues, that are going on right now.
I came of age during the Women's Movement the first time, so...I'm not letting go.
Do you think the political system is broken? If so, how would you fix it?
I actually not so sure it's so much the political system, as how we communicate about the political system.
I get concerned about the journalism-no offense-but what get's filtered out to the public I think
is not always accurate and I would just like to see less...see what the right...I see a lot of false equivalence in the media.
And sometimes one side is just more right than the other side. So I would like to see more factual-based reporting.
Are you hopeful about the future?
I think I am, overall, it's...short-term I'm probably a little concerned,
but I have a lot of faith in what's going on with education in terms of
our value in it in this country, and I think, that's the key to our future.
