Amazing how a thread about earning and employing RAF pilot's brevets has momentarily turned to commentary on various forms and failures of democracy. Reminds me of that quote by Churchill after losing his keys to 10 Downing Street after the war. Scares me who might gain the keys to the White House this time around. Actually I blame it on the apathetic electorate not taking advantage of the hard won freedoms that made participatory government available. Beware, we can lose what we don't treasure and exercise.
