As a light aircraft homebuilder, I can tell you why some choose not to use a ballistic recovery system (parachute) - weight. They weight about 21 lbs for a chute that can save a 1500 lbs aircraft. This is also the most the light aircraft can weigh for this type of system. 21 lbs is a lot of baggage/human/fuel to have to give up. They cost about $4k. this could also be a factor, but not nearly as important as weight.
Needeless to say, I'll have a BRS.
The problem is expecting Democrats to stand up for your constitutional rights. They don't believe in your "rights". Your rights are what they give you. And wiretapping you without a warrant IS their goal. That's why they are for it. They just happen to agree with the neocons on this one.
Don't expect a democrat to defend your liberties.
Don't expect a neocon to respect your freedoms either.
You need a CONSTITUTIONALIST to defend your LIBERTIES.
Until you recognize this, you're going to be disaapointed by people you think will represent you.
