Default NY Times Story on Pilot Population Decline

Just for a moment try to imagine a nation where the poor old folks who
have given the toil of their youth to increasing the GNP (or whatever
its called these days) littering the pavement of your city so thick
that you can't walk down the sidewalk.


Imagine for a moment a nation where the young folk spend recklessly and
go into debt instead of saving for their retirment, knowing that when
they come of age, somebody else will take care of them. This is the end
result of a slow creep of large organizations (including but not limited
to government) making benevolent decisions for us.

What kind of nation will that lead to? Certainly not a strong one - not
a world leader.
