From an article by Dick Collins on the decreasing number of private pilots: "One reason there are fewer pilots is because the mood in our country has changed. There is more of a tendency today for people to be needy and dependent and risk-averse. That is not a good demographic for flight training or for flying." That statement seems to speak to a lot more than just the decreasing pilot population.
