    I’ve loved watching Bill Moyers for 30 years. What an incredible man of integrity. I found him on PBS in my 20’s. I am so lucky.

    Young people do understand because I discovered Bill Moyers in my 20s. We just have to point them in the right direction. There is a hunger for this kind of wisdom. Thank you Mr. Moyers for your many years of service to mankind. ❤

    Bill Moyers is a national treasure! Thank God for his insights and wisdom! May America learn well from his truths! Great warning to our country about those like Trump, Hawley, and Cruz...

    A welcome speech from a beloved and trusted source. Thank you to all who made this possible, and of course to you Bill Moyers for helping us to remember what is good and important for us all.

    Great, timely lecture from B. Moyers. And if you've never been to Chautauqua, you should go. Beautiful grounds, many B and Bs in the compound, educational courses, wonderful lake, and first rate music. Near Erie. Soon, (it says here), we'll be able to enjoy these places again.

    A voice sorely missed these days especially, speaks of the choice, chaos or community. Now 14 months later there can be no question of which has been chosen.

      Technically people are priceless but but if we had a limited budget.. We have to use that money on the Children.. Bc Mother Earth is Priceless.. The Human Race can be Protectors or Destroyers of the last living egg still being incubated by our sun god.

    I share in this concern of the sociopathic pseudo democracy in which we, who remember, despair.
    Soft power/ Spirituality (kindness) interpersonal connection, is how many of our great leaders (lost) opened our eyes.
    Reminding us...Yes, we CAN love our little group and not HATE others.
    We don't need politicians who represent haters and sociopaths.
    Less is More :-)

      Thank you, Bill Moyers. Living socially is certainly what we need today. I know a little about Chautaqua through knowing J.Frank Dobie, who was a good friend of my parents. Carry on, Bill!

    Be reminded of the need to nurture empathy responding to "the child's grasping finger" - to model and teach it as parents, as communities, and as leaders /governments of democratic countries. .

    I feel like a few big changes would work out a lot of issues in this country . A lot of issues involve the 1 percent so why don't we pass a bill that changes business . Cap the allowed amount of businesses to 1 per person cap how many employees they are allowed to have I say 500 in all including yourself some would say more . This causes the 1st to bond with there others working with them . Quality control would be better no split and fewer hands screwing things up . That person would then care about things like equal and fair pay . That improves day to day life . Require full transparency This means either online or on the door you have a chart and information listed of what your paycheck is what the average employee is being paid What companies and other social issues you donate to how much of your funds that comes in is going out automatically per sale to donation companies. In that it allows the customer to be able to make it intelligent decision on where they feel comfortable spending their money That sparks intelligent thought. When they go back home after working at Their job that respects them and pays them fairly where their day-to-day necessities are met They go home and they're happier people They take care of their families in that they won't need to do crimes as much. That reduces down the need for prisons. If we were to move most of banking over to electronic and reduce down the amount of brick and mortar being used for banking system that opens up land another way of opening up land is turning deaths into cremation . I feel there are other things that we don't need in this country that could be reduced down to allow for more land to be opened up for people to live on for cattle to be properly ranched on our food supply would be improved food crops could be grown properly with real seed instead of it being locked up in a bank somewhere and us having GMO. A temporary change that would also occur in my opinion would be the need for removing federal government in a hole That means you would have to make states into countries temporarily and once you do that and you remove the federal government you open up billions of dollars that was once being leaked and you open that up That means homelessness goes away that means that American hunger goes away I'm not talking about it being a euphoric perfect world but there are much better ways to do all of this than the way that we're doing it right now That's all I'm saying If you cut the 1% off at the feet maybe even the knees by destroying big business you force them to either migrate or accept. Then you enact major change. But 99% of the time when I try to relate any of this I'm told that I'm delusional and no one's ever going to number one read all of that but thought I would throw it out there anyway.

    I have long said that no one can afford to put a cop and a soldier on every street corner in the entire world. If one, or any entity, wants to govern effectively, then that governance MUST come via progressive ideas (that the populous WANTS to stand behind)..
    Like the distinguished Mr. Moyer says here the US's finest hour was...not considering the Revolution...defeating Hitler and reinstituting democracy in Western Europe.
    But that glory...if it really was glory...was not to last, because if you look at Desert Storm, and you learn about how slow the US was to help reinstall the infrastructure that they destroyed, then anyone would have to come to the undeniable conclusion that the US was much more desirous to help (white) Western Europeans with the Marshall Plan than they have been willing to help since then in Iraq in particular.
