You can only find the answers by research and development.

You can't find the answers

by putting people of high moral character in government.

You can only find the answers by innovation

by studying the systems and the problems and working on methods

of alleviating those problems, not through law.

Law is when you don't have a method of solving a problem.

If people steal or hurt one another

you say "It's against the law to hurt somebody."

If a person doesn't have the means to live by

he's going to hurt somebody to get the money or whatever they need.

That isn't dealing with the problem. 'Law' is really avoiding problems;

it's just nailing a proclamation on the wall

saying "You! Don't do this."

It doesn't work in the long run.

You might cause people to consider an action before they take it

but all laws come into existence because of scarcity.

It's always difficult to imagine that.

When there's scarcity of water, people will steal it, remove it

if not for themselves, for their children.

[You can have] all laws in the world

but if you don't want people to steal water, you build an electric fence

around the water.

You don't need to put up a sign 'Don't Steal Water!'

but those people will die, so we don't want to do that.

We don't want to build a fence around our country and say

"This is the greatest country in the world. We're gonna keep it that way!"

We depend on other countries. If we live to ourselves

I can assure you, we'll die of ourselves

because if the Russians do nuclear testing

and they dump radioactive stuff into the sea, or the Japanese

the world is one big place and the air moves around

and the waters move. Therefore living to yourself

your little isolated colony

your little culture that you want to build

your little city that you want to build

of people with like-mindedness

all of that has no basis for survival

because in the event of catastrophic failure

you will be invaded by the minorities

if they don't have food, water or the wherewithal to live.
