Default NY Times Story on Pilot Population Decline

This country was founded on the principle of limited government.
For the first 150 years of its existance we had politicians
that understood that concept. To wit, the founding fathers were
all mostly businessmen of some sort or another. The trend today
is that politicians seldome have real world experience in busines.
Far too many of the have never really held a job outside of
government... and too many are simply one in a long line
od political figures... ever inbreeding their government ideas.


Unfortunately, this is how democracies tend to evolve, which is why they tend
to limit their own lifetimes.
