Well,sir,you can get in you pickup and drive all over your pasture and survey all you own,that's your right..but the minute you get on a public road you must have a license to drive and liability insurance and a properly licensed and inspected car.

None of that makes driving a "priviledge." That word is only used - abused, really - by government toadies who think our rights flow from their benevolence. Such people are in need of a harsh takedown.

There is no a priori reason the cops and the DMV must have such bureacratic supremacy. Insurance could be conditional on passing driving school, and private registries could hold driver information and turn it over to police only when presented with a warrant. The whole thing could be a lot more private than it is, and be safer, less expensive, and more competently administered.

The next time a sanctimonious ticket-writing psuedo-tax collector-cum-cop spouts off with "driving is a priviledge not a right" he's due a hearty "F--- off and show me where in the Constitution it says so."

But, according to the FBI, that would make you a terrorist.

but the minute you get on a public road

Can you find any language, in any constitution, federal or state, that says anything about what happens the "minute you get on a public road?"

If not, why isn't travel on those roads part of what the RoR refers to as unenumerated rights?
