Can you drive a motor vehicle across this “free” country without someone in government approving of you as a driver? Or without getting government permission to use that vehicle on the roads? If you are not free to travel without permission, you are not free.

(From 'you think you're free?') I hope he's not suggesting that we should do away with driver licensing and registration. While it may be bureaucratic and often complicated, making a comparison between Nazi Germany and the US because of driver registration (a) minimizes the places where we have lost precious liberty, such as recent wiretapping and search and seizure, right to trial legislation (b) violates Godwin's Law and (c) implies that driver registration and licensing is a plague, without even considering his other arguements, where in countries without registration, safety inspections, etc., driver fatalities have a profound impact on society. It's not that you'll kill yourself driving an unsafe vehicle without proper training - you'll kill someone else.

I'd say that driver registration/licensing/safety inspections save at least tens of thousands of lives each year in the US alone, perhaps hundreds of thousands. If that means you have to jump through a few hoops to get on the road, so be it. It's part of the reason why we have some of the best roads in the world.

Oh, and your klortho link is broken.
