Do away with the unconstitutional Federal Reserve. The schools (among others) are always crying for more money. Because of the inflationary fed, ordinary people never have enough money and never will. The Federal Reserve is owned by private stockholders who receive interest for creating loans for things like wars. Stopping them would create reliable money that would hold it's value for a persons lifetime. The reason foreigners want a $100 a barrel for oil now is, our money isn't worth as much.
Very cool. It makes me think, so many disappear from the public eye when they are older. Thanks for putting yourself out there, Mr. Douglas. I want to see more older folks mixed in throughout all of society.
This one is on the highlighted list. Great - I knew it when we first heard it. Good Job. I did two new questions, but don't think the clown is on the agenda. Thanks
Mr. Douglas, I think the answer is quite easy, just divert the money into the school-system instead of making war. The alternative for the government is just to print much more $-paper and be happy with inflation. Thank you for opening this issue !
First, they have to believe that there WILL BE a future - I get the feeling sometimes that they don't. It is a curious thing when intelligent, influential, connected people run around like they are the last generation on earth.... isn't it?
Wow! Thank you Kirk. What would I do? A hefty question, indeed. Our country is supposed to be a democracy and our government is a government of the people, for the people. So, the first thing I would do is raise my voice, spread the word, speak to all people I see, know, hear, etc., etc. ABOVE ALL, after doing that, raise the issues and get the people to become involved and stop leading their lives based on FEAR. Vote, vote, vote!
God bless you!At this point our kids are not free to think independently or write creatively,they will be suspended and expelled for something as simple as drawing pictures and writing a stories that don't fit guidelines equivalent to the "thought crime" bill up before the senate now.what they need to do is stop oppressing our children and focus on education minus the social standards.
I admire you ENORMOUSLY for posting these comments. I'm a mother of a draft-age son, and grateful to see a "movie star" posting wise, constructive comments instead of simply posing and acting bellicose. Your humility and sincere concern for MY grandchildren move me. Thank you.
I will live life with all of my capcity. I will try to expand that capcity. I won't give up even when I want to. I will search for the Truth.I won't close my eyes even though it would be easier to just go along and pretend it is someone elses problem. I will search for creative solutions.I will fight for my piece of the sky and not settle for crumbs.I will follow the example of people like the great man who has posted this video who has the courage to keep asking relevant questions.
I'm going to go ahead and tell you the correct answer and the answer that you'll hear.
The correct answer: privatize schools so bad schools die and good schools teach our children better for less and hire better teachers, all while lowering taxes.
The answer you'll hear from politicians: just throw more money at schools *cough*increasetaxes*cough*. Like that actually solves anything.
Don't be a fool. Once you privatise school the driving force is not good education it becomes money making and cost reduction. Keep schools public but refocus education onto the arts and culture as well as science. Make all religion a part of culture lessons as schools are a place of learning not religious indoctrination.
privatization results in better quality and higher standards in ALL instances, school included. People need to take much more responsibility for their lives, including education.......but then what would the modern day democratic party do if that ever happened?
That last comment is so true. One need only to look at other countries to see just how horrible public education is.
"Once you privatise school the driving force is not good education it becomes money making and cost reduction."
But isn't the best way to make money selling products that are better than the competition at a price that is lower than the competition's price? -_-'
"Make all religion a part of culture lessons as schools are a place of learning not religious indoctrination."
Funny thing is, I want religion to be as far away from schools as humanly possible, if religion not existing period isn't a possible option. America needs *real* ethnics, not more bigot logic like "if people don't read the bible, they'll become evil!". =|
I would like to ask one question. What will you do to improve the conditions of our senior citizens? the children that we have neglected. What will you do to improve the schools? to improve the teachers? To make them competitive with other students around the world, Who now surpass us in many subjects, like math and science. What can you do?
The only way the conditions will improve for the human race is when people feel that they have something to live for. Hope gives people courage to survive, but these days seems that very people care about anybody.
I'm very sorry that he had a stroke but when was i disrespectful? I said please, what more do you want from me? I want to hear what he's saying and subtitles would be nice!
I have not been disrespectful, neither was Robjenkin, you on the other hand call people names and come with your !'s
Yes...truly Kirk Douglas is a great man. His questions need answering by ALL politicians around the world, not just those in the US. Bravo! Is it any wonder I still think of you as Spartacus.
Sorry Kirk, we have a dumbo crook in the White house, he can't speak nor read nor understand the American people's needs. But he sure knows how to loot the US's tax paid dollars by billions, just ask Lockheed Martin's CEO's.
Mr. Douglas. Please call me. I have started a group who will form a VOTING BLOCK in the next election to demand that they give us some or all of the things you mention. I NEED THE AID of a celebrity to bring people to this great idea. Mike Mathiesen 831-420-0107 Please call me. I have no other way to reach you.
It all starts with mentoring and putting your part, the way you live, helping out your fellow man.
It starts with US!

I think you are right on Kirk. The future generations are the world's future. I think the key is education (reading).
If too much emphasis is put on the net, our younger ones might not read. That would be tragic.
