Libertarian politics can coexist with a privately Christian society. It’s not whether it’s a good thing to help those willing to use it as a hand-up. It’s not needed to make the government do it.

You jump to waaay too many conclusions

This is where you as consumer need to be aware. Because if you won’t, you will be among myriads begging for super nannies.

Observe context when commenting, because that’s how you will reasonably be taken.

That’s the exact mindset that will pull down nannies. If you won’t listen to a word to the wise (e.g. gym rules), the consequences fall.

That would be nice. But the schools train in all of those areas, so they can all operate under one roof and multi-task.

Plus, it is not okay for a stylist who spends thousands on training and certification (styling schools can cost up to $25,000) to be in competition with an unlicensed person who didn’t take the hard road to get there.

Why is it okay for the state to require you to spend up to $25k just to cut hair? If people are willing to go to a hairdresser that self-taught, instead of someone who spent too much $$ to be 'certified', that is their choice. Just because someone was smart enough to take the easy road, shouldn't mean they can't offer their services to people willing to pay for them!

I never wanted to teach cosmetology, because I don’t believe in make-up exams.

The government requiring licenses for braiding is absurd.

You are right. Is the state any different from Vito Corleone providing protection for money? They are just dreaming up ways to revenue.

It is the same incumbency kind of system the ancient guilds became. The original stated purpose is to provide a standard of qualified education or training (apprenticeship) in a trade, bug nearly as fast as the requirements of the guilds become the law, it becomes the incumbency protection racket that makes it all “by law” allows it to be. Were it just a standard someone can agree to in their practice, but not a legal requirement, customers could judge for themselves if they are getting better service, or not, by those claiming to meet that standard. Over time, the standard would achieve a majority of customers, if it was worthy of it.

Like it or not, styling and cosmetology are a licensed industry requiring 1600-2000 hours of instruction and a state test to be certified.

One of the things they teach in the course is sanitation and infection/infestation control, since hair and scalp is a great place for disease and critters to proliferate. Stylists find all kinds of things that would make you jump back on peoples’ heads. Our daughter is a licensed cosmetologist, so we get an inside account.

Plus, it is not okay for a stylist who spends thousands on training and certification (styling schools can cost up to $25,000) to be in competition with an unlicensed person who didn’t take the hard road to get there.

It is in the interest of the public for the state to require training and salon standards.


I think some are questioning the need for the standards being as strict as they are, not the concept of having standards and licensing in the first place.

That’s my take on it anyway.

It really doesn’t pay to have any kind of an opinion in here. {rolling eyes}

The problem is this: Libertarisism a different form of government than what our Founders created:

Ayn Rand said:
I am done with the monster of “we,” the word of serfdom, of plunder, of misery, falsehood and shame. And now I see the face of god, and I raise this god over the earth, this god whom men have sought since men came into being, this god who will grant them joy and peace and pride. This god, this one word: “I.”
