Question: 
Do you have any reasons to hope that President Obama will be “better” in his second term?

This is one of those many places where we need to distinguish the “hope” about which the question asks from optimistic expectation. I am not optimistic, but I do have hope.

Hopes for Process

Question: 
What are some of your hopes for process over the next decade or two?

This is a fun question. I’m glad I was not asked to predict the realistic prospects of process thought. That would not be so much fun. But “hopes” are another matter. Still, I’ll try to stick with hopes that are not merely fanciful.
