I don't think we should allow socialist comments like this on a free net.
Please don't take that comment seriously particularly about censorship,
the free flow of ideas is good, *but* socialist thinking must be replied
to.

Of course if you *want* to exercise a privilege allowed to you by the
state, by all means get a license.

If, however, you are only exercising a God given right to move about
(this freedom pre-existing even the Magna Carta) you are not exercising
a state granted privilege.

Also note who owns the *public road*.
