That's a pretty hard line there GhostWriter16. I'm on your side about some things, but I'm not sure I can agree here. I think if someone is blind, let's say, that it's not oppressive to pull them over and force them to stop driving. A blind person ( or a blind drunk person ) driving is the "yelling fire in a crowded theater" limitation. It's obscenely, directly dangerous and not at all comparable to something like second hand smoke or hate speech.
Now, if you're saying that people should be allowed to drive by default but sometimes lose that right for X, Y, or Z reason then you might be on to something interesting. Changing it from a license based white list to a black list might make sense, but I do think there are circumstances where not letting someone drive is reasonable.
You can pretend its about public safety but you know that the traffic laws as written and practiced in the US are a money racket. Its a protection scheme just like the mob runs where they can.
Traffic laws are profit centers for government on the local level. It subsidizes the maintenance of armed forces and the system of juriprudence that exists to exert control over the public, not to serve it.
It is an institution designed to protect against insurrection by those who'd like a slice of liberty.
As global banksters are becoming more and more efficient in sucking up the life blood of the people we can see that additional measures are being put into place such as the massive purchases of arms by "Homeland Security" and the training of armed forces in minor nations such as Iraq and Afganistan to serve in the future police state.
All the elements are being put into place for the final subjection of humanity to the rule of the elite. Who are probably not lizard people from outer space but its worth noting that if aliens did come to Earth with the intent of taking over the place, they would do it in exactly the same fashion as is now playing out.
