This not only exposes even more attempts by the U.N. to control everyday life, it also begs the question are we really "required" to have a drivers
license? While there may be legislation stating so, is there a law to back up such legislation? A statute, code or ordinance is no more law than a
chalk board that has the mathematical equation for gravity scrawled across it. It is not the piece of paper a statute is written upon that makes it
law, and it is not a chalkboard an equation is written upon that makes that law, both serve as evidence for law, and nothing more.
Evidence is not proof, if it were the gloves "that didn't fit" that led to the jury to acquit O.J., would have been enough to convict him. While
there is much talk and assertion that legislatures make law, they no more do so than Sir Isaac Newton made gravity. A law is self evident, just as
gravity is, and what is so evident that people need to have a drivers license to prove they can drive. If drivers licenses were so effective in
keeping people who can't drive off of the road, then why are there so many bad drivers?
While it is the DMV that insist that "driving is a privilege and not a right", it is unclear by what authority a state administrative agency finds
the jurisdiction to declare what is a right and what is not. That said, it is equally unclear, by what authority the U.N. finds jurisdiction to
demand licensing of internet usage. The problem is not governments, as they will always act according to their nature. Much like the fable of the
scorpion who stung the frog who gave him a ride across the river and in doing so drowned them both, governments will act like scorpions, and people
far too often, like naive frogs trusting the reasoning of scorpions, whilst ignoring their very nature.
As long as people continue to willingly grant jurisdiction to dubious licensing schemes, then governments will demand more application of licenses and
do what they can to control the people. People should not just refuse to go along with licensing of internet users, they should start refusing to go
along with the licensing of drivers, because just as surely as it is a right to use the internet, it is a right to drive and travel as well. Whether
we travel across the world via the world wide web, or travel to the store down the street, it is a right and not a government granted privilege.
