hate to admit we as jumpers have failed. But, even with the swoop classes, and all the education about wing loading, IT'S NOT WORKING.

I'd have to agree. Look at what people are bitching about now. Here's a clicky to a post two years ago made by Bill Booth.

Note his quote - "The sky over most drop zones nowadays is like a busy intersection with no stop signs or traffic lights...for that matter, no rules at all. I just got back from Roger Nelson's funeral and I'm pissed. Too many good people have lost their lives recently because canopy pilots won't follow even the most basic traffic rules while landing their nylon airplanes."

There's an incident posting today abotu not following the pattern.
