Soaring and Critical Mass of Participation.

Why frown at the status quo? Because even the stupidest person in soaring
knows that the numbers are not keeping up with either population growth or
leisure spending or public exposure of "extreme sports". That is almost a
pure definition of the phrase "it is NOT WORKING." If you do not grow, you
die. If you do not add on youth at a much greater rate than you lose to
death and drop outs, you die.

And, no, I don't need permission to do any of this. I need 6 or 8 ships. Got
some extra money? I need to promote it outside the "community". Got some
extra money, time, connections? I need to run headlong over the top of
almost everything in existence except the guys who sell Sectionals. Got an
infrastructure?

Bang. Bang. Bang. ouch! my head.
