In part 2 of this conversation Glen and April have with recent Democratic candidate for governor Dr. Chris Jones, Chris describes the importance of authentic dialog in political conversations, with emphasis on a positive and respectful approach - including clarity in one's positions. He draws parallels between a divided legislative and executive branch in Arkansas during the Winthrop Rockefeller years with the potential for productivity even with possible future such divisions in Arkansas's government. Discussions include the importance of hearing from a wide range of voices when trying to solve difficult problems, potential areas of common ground between political factions in Arkansas, and the need to avoid demonizing other views, while continuing to call out destructive public assertions. He also covers how he views science and religion as being complementary and not necessarily being inconsistent with each other. He outlines recent attempts to broaden who he talks with in Arkansas as he hopes to build a more responsive and widespread involvement in political activities.
