For all that I'm in accord with most Libertarian ideas, I don't figure it would work in the real world on account of it demands too much personal responsibility for the consequences of one's own decisions and action.
I feel I'm stuck with what society at large thinks is Good, and that includes Guvmint regulations. I've been arguing against a lot of government meddling for over forty years, and mostly all I get is either hostility or blank looks.
In this world that the great majority of all people have voted for, driving is a privilege, not a right. It doesn't matter what my opinion is. "Privilege" is the operative word. Having a license is an absolute requirement, unless I want to spend a lot of time in some courtroom--and I don't want to.
I found that it's pointless to get emotional about this sort of issue. Doesn't do any good. The only thing that helps, as I've said before at TFL and here is to get involved in politics and find candidates who share your views and do all the scut work needed to get them elected.
Whether it's gun control, national ID or RFIDs or whatever, it's all about politics and how people vote. Either get involved or resign yourself to being just another keyboard commando on the Internet, preaching to a couch-potato choir.
Whadda we got here, some 15,000 members? Imagine 15,000 Jim March type activists in the various arenas of politics...
