See? It's about MONEY....same as always.

You have a very self-limited ability to reason beyond your own
insecurities..

It really is not about money at all.

Of course it is. It always is. That and control.

If it was about the money, they would make you renew it every year for
a fee. They don't. It's a one time fee for a lifetime permit.

Lucky for you, they don't consider I.Q. as part of the criteria, or
you'd be permanently beached.

I can do without the invective and the insults, thank you very much.

One time fee, eh? Well, I have a 1953 Georgia driver's license here that
doesn't have a photo on it, had a one time fee and is good for life with no
further tests, examinations or qualifications. I'll sell it to you cheap. But
just offhand, I wouldn't try driving with it today.

Someone gave me their grandfather's South Carolina driver's "tag". Yes, it
isn't a license at all! It's a metal tag, similar to a dog tag. It has
just your driver's number on it. SC, backwards to a fault, used it into
the 1950's.

I love South Carolina.

Just received a letter from your illustrious tax department today
saying that I was right all along and did not really owe tens of
thousands in back taxes on my boat despite their previous outlandish
claims to the contrary.

Praise be, I might once again entertain the idea of returning to
Charleston. On the other hand, maybe once was enough...

My EU driver's license, issued in Bavaria in the eighties, has no
expiry date. Just like my boating card.

My EU driver's license, issued in Vienna in 1971, likewise has no expiry date.
But that's Europe, not a revenue hungry US state. The EU license cuts no ice
in this country unless you are merely renting a car. The cops made it plain
that the whole idea of a driver's license is to keep track of you and nothing
at all to do with driving skill, since my EU license was ample proof of the
latter.
