I think we agree that the current system of licencing drivers is shitty. Where we disagree is that I think the theory is sound, and I think that something to filter out the incompentent drivers, even if not completely effective, is better than nothing.

Perhaps we can come up with a better system. Maybe you take the test once and you're good for life. I'm not sure.

To suggest that no license, no mandatory education, and no proof of one's abilities should be necessary in order to operate a motor vehicle on public streets, potentially endangering innocent lives... that, my friend, is ludicrous.

I am not saying we shouldn't have a license because we will have to drive in other states. I'm just saying we shouldn't require people to provide a social security for it, and shouldn't make them renew it, etc. We should also not make agreements with other states to hold up someone's license if they don't pay a ticket in another state as nearly all states do now.
And we could easily force the other states to accept our driver's license under article 4 of the Constitution.
This thread has gone off into a totally different tangent than what I had originally posted it for.
All I was doing is educating a few people about the Free State Project and inviting those of you who value freedom and want a chance to experience true freedom in America before you die, to take part in it.
Let's not focus on a single part of what I've said because the license thing is just an issue I was talking to someone about. It's not a part of the Free State Project official platform, if they even have one other than the goal of small government with limited powers that's less intrusive.
