If the driving licence were a right, on what basis would this be the case? Do you think this would bring down the cost of driving? If so, why?
I'm having a hard time believing that this kind of deregulation would be helpful, but maybe it would? Perhaps if private road providers were more common, there would be a wider range of options. Can't see that flying though... people seem to like to drive without paying for the road at point of use...
- smashing 15y agoPeople are driving on the road paid for by their taxes. And freedom of travel by automobile is a liberty not a right because it can be taken away, as this article appears to document, unjustly or in criminal matters, justly.
- ldar15 15y agoBoth life and liberty are rights which may be forfeit by criminal action. Simply because the justice system can revoke your life does not make your life a privilege as Ms Krapielian would have us believe. The simple fact of the government paving all public thoroughfares does not somehow mean that it is now a privilege to walk upon them or drive on them.

Rachel Kaprielian(1) was the one who made the statements: "There are mistakes that can be made." and the real jewel "Yes, it is an inconvenience [to have to clear your name], but lots of people have their identities stolen, and that’s an inconvenience, too."
