I hear of a guy around my
area who has not had a medical for 15 years.

Which simply shows that a medical (esp. a 3rd class
for hobby flying) is meaningless and should be eliminated.

I heard of a guy flying around who didn't even have a license.
I guess that "simply shows" that a pilot's license
"is meaningless and should be eliminated".

No, but it shows much of the training for a PP-ASEL is
meaningless...and can be reduced. Hence the Sport license.
