Um, let me re-word that - I do not agree with the wheelbarrows full of cash
that we hand the government every year for the privilege of being allowed to
operate a vehicle.

Maybe it's time we re-examined this "it's a priviledge, not a right"
line.
I
guess when horses were the prevalent mode of transportation, driving an
auto
was a "priviledge" of the rich, who could afford them. Nowadays, how
would
one survive without a car, at least in most parts of the U.S.? You'd get
killed trying to ride a bike to work in a lot of big cities, run over by
those "Priviledged" auto drivers. Driver's licenses are still just
another
revenue generation tool, since obviously there are plenty of accidents
by
all those "trained and approved" drivers.

It reminds me of those parents who get their kid something like a bike
or
horse, just to have something to take away to punish them later.

There are still statutes on file that pertain to how you ride your horse.
That's a privilege, too. I don't disagree with you about the
"money-making-machine" that has taken over the system, though.
