The former president said genetic research shows that all humans are
essentially the same and that people shouldn’t fight over the half percent that is different.
Clinton also said that nearly all of the world’s religions teach that, after the love of God, the love of neighbor is next in importance.
He also said that it was right to put on dancing shoes and celebrate today, but that marching boots would be necessary again tomorrow.
