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*. Yours always in Freedom, Warren N. Shadwick
