One would think that YOU being a journalist would have heard of some of the shit that happens to 'bloggers' trying to participate in press conferences, then getting ignored or ejected because they don't have press cards or actual journalist credentials. Perhaps you've heard of the slippery slope and that maybe it's only a matter of time that you have to have a license to practice journalism. Google 'authorized journalists' sometime.

I did forget that you think the government runs things better than anyone.

How should it be?
I don't think you can deny that the way driving is treated is as a privilege that is regulated by the several states. Let's say I stipulate that that's a violation of my God Given Right to Drive (we'll fiat an 11th Commandment: Thou Shalt Drive). How would you like it to be? How would you manage it? Who should get to drive? At what age? Should there be any case where they should be removed from their car?

why do you keep insisting that the only fucking rights anyone has are what is listed in the bill of rights? did you ever take a real history class?
