Wrong on all counts.

I have rarely seen such a collection of strawmen.

I suggest you get a dictionary and learn what a "strawman" argument is, then learn what a legitimately drawn analogy is. It is obvious that you don't know the difference...but of course if you did, then you would also know the difference between a privelege and a right.

Driving is a privelege. The state mandates that you take lessons, prove that you have taken those lessons, pass a written test, pass a driving test, pass a vision test and then that you purchase not just a license to drive, but that you also purchase a license for your automobile, which must pass a vehicle inspection before it can be driven on the "publicly funded" roads.

Voting is a right. The state cannot place any restrictions on that right, no test, no license, no fees, no restrictions of any kind, beyond being a law abiding citizen of legal age.

Now run to your dictionary, little one, and learn your definitions.

AS I have done with Texas Federalist, I also would like to apologize for my arrogant, condescending tone. It is apparent, as TChris has pointed out, that the line between a right and privelege is far more ambiguous that I originally believed

I wish that I was more level-headed on occasion. This discussion has been educational and thought provoking for me.

Again, I apologize for the tone of my reply.
