We air a portion of a stump speech of John Hagelin, a Presidential candidate from the Natural Law Party who's on the ballot in 45 states. The main focus of the Natural Law Party is to support the development of the human element--they see America's problems, crime, domestic abuse, pollution -- as human problems and they seek a government that seeks to elevate human behavior. And the way to do that, they say, is not with rules or laws but with education...that teaches people to take better care of themselves, their environment, etc. Governments can't generate health or wealth...it must empower the citizens of the country to best use the human resource.(5:00)
