I shouldn't need a license to drive either, or to do anything I want should I? There's a reason licenses exist.

  I shouldn't need a license to drive either, or to do anything I want should I? Correct.

    You have to have more to say than no one should be licensed for anything, that is a ridiculous proposition. No licensed electricians? Sorry your house is on fire!

      Exactly, my house, not yours. That's why I'm responsible for choosing a reputable electrician, not you.

        It's a good thing you know everything and your actions never have consequences on others. Fire never spreads, the free market will solve all problems, and the earth is flat.

        Yes but if your house causes a black out to our city, or a fire that destroys a city block who's held responsible? You, the electrician? What if people die? The problem with Randian Objectivism is it normalizes human death to solve micro economical problems. I'd rather have micro economical problems then human death.

      It could work this way. Wiring not done by a licensed electrician then you pay triple for insurance. No insurance no mortgage. Now you can have your house burn down and it is a total loss. Hell NH drivers don't need insurance. Live free or die. Edit: Actually I just remembered you can wire your own house in NH, but it still has to be inspected. They are not totally crazy.

        This is a horrible idea. What will happen and has happened in reality is that those with less scruples or money will simply pay for the cheaper unlicensed work and not pay for extra insurance. Those people or their tenets then suffer by injury and death when an electrical fire starts or an improper wiring job jolts someone.
