Default NY Times Story on Pilot Population Decline

While it might take some time for the quality of teachers to improve
in Iowa, it is reasonable to expect, that increasing the salary Iowa
pays teachers may cause fewer better-qualified teachers to overlook
Iowa as a choice for employment.

But the future generations of Iowa's (and our nation's) population
probably aren't worth attracting the best talent available to educate
them. There are probably far more worthy places for Iowa to spend its
revenue. :-(

The grasshopper-like shortsightedness of the Accountant-mentality
reveals a virtually criminal disregard for the future as is all too
often demonstrated by their almost universal obsession with the coming
quarter. Geology and Paleontology courses should be required subjects
for those students whose careers will involve policy making decisions,
so that they can begin to appreciate what can be accomplished given
adequate time.
