In reply to the discussion: Missouri Republicans vote to stop issuing driver’s licenses [View all]Mr. X
(72 posts)I think it's great that the Republicans are moving to get rid of these outdated things known as drivers licenses. After all, we rarely - if ever - have to use them. /sarcasm
Anyway, I really wonder why they think this is a good idea. I can see some Republicans defending this move, saying that driving isn't a right. I'm not going to list all of the secondary uses for a drivers license, but if the Republicans get their way then teens, and those whose licenses expire, better get used to biking or walking.
This is a scare tactic, pure and simple though. It's seen a lot now though. Republicans have mastered this tactic - It's called do things our way or we will **** over the people.
It's a pity though that both of their options are poison - If we don't do as they wish, we get a dose of quick acting poison. If we do what they want, we get a dose of slow acting poison. Either way the people are getting screwed.
