Do you presume that you can somehow punish people for
driving without a license BEFORE they actually drive without
a license? No, you sitll have to wait until they actually
commit the act before you can punish them. I don't know
if you're doing this deliberately, or merely due to brainwash
programming, but you are attempting to employ baffling
bull****.

Have you misled yourself into thinking this is the type of
question rational human asks?

You're avoiding the question with a question.

Do you presume that you can showhow punish people for
driving without a license BEFORE they actually drive without
a license?

Get a clue. It was a [polite way of saying that you are too stupid
to waste my time on.

Oh my Dave, is somebody getting their nose bent out of shape by my
line of questioning? Tisk tisk, Dave.

Anyway, Dave. Your original statement was how "The courts are
retroactive". I suppose the concept of actually wanting until
somebody commits a crime before denying them of their Rights disturbs
you. Regardless, let's examine the rest of what you said:

Then you said: "It doesn't help much if an unlicensed driver kills
someone and goes to jail or pays a fine. It is too late."

As if it makes it okay if it's a licensed driver that kills someone?
It would still be to late, Dave. And, once again, I have to ask the
question: Do you presume that you can showhow punish people for
driving without a license BEFORE they actually get caught driving
without a license?

And, finally, you said: "Better to have that person demonstrate ahead
of time that they can drive.... and to have them know that their
*privilege* to drive can be suspended or revoked."

Now, beside the fact that virtually everybody CAN drive safely, I have
to wonder how this is any different from laws against Endangerment or
Harm, where people know that their RIGHT to Drive, or even their Right
of Liberty can be suspended or revoked?
