[QUOTE="Dave70968, post: 2775129, member: 13624"] In Louisiana, florists have to be licensed. Licensure is about [I]control[/I], not [I]quality[/I]. If licensure were that effective at preventing accidents, we wouldn't have pilot-error crashes, driver-error accidents, medical malpractice, or Bernie Madoff. It's all about control: the trades get to exclude people (reduce supply -> drive up costs), and the government gets to wet its beak. You're perfectly happy with that because you're benefiting from it. Besides, I've checked my copy of the Bill of Rights--recently, even--and guess what: [I]none of those things was listed as a right![/I] That's right, none! Can you believe that? Now, if you're in favor of licensing the second, surely you're in favor of licensing the First, right? Because religion and speech have historically been the biggest drivers of murder in the world. Imagine, if only we could have denied Marx and Engels the right to speak, tens of millions might never have died under Communism. The time is now! The killing must end! We demand speech licensing!
