Georgia Republican’s bill would do away with driver’s licenses | Raw Story:
"A Republican in Georgia's House of Representatives has introduced a bill to eliminate driver's licenses, arguing that the documents are an unnecessary infringement on personal freedom.
Rep. Bobby Franklin, who represents the Atlanta suburb of Marietta, defended the bill to skeptical reporters on Monday, who questioned whether it would be a good idea to eliminate oversight of Georgia's drivers.
'One of your inalienable rights is the right to travel, the right to move about without needing your papers,' Franklin told WSB in Atlanta. 'You shouldn't have to have permission from the state to exercise a right that has been inalienably given to you from your creator...'"
I'm sure this bill will have the enthusiastic endorsement of drunk drivers everywhere.

funny, i remember being pulled over by a cop when i was younger and being told that a driver's license was a privilege, not a right.
I've heard that about million times, too.
