What's even more strange is that we accept the fact that the state licenses a freedom.

Every two years you have to get a DOT physical at about $95. Then, every fourth year you have the DOT physical($95),
Say that again......... ??
I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

When I was in high school we took the Vessel license test as part of drivers ed. Every single person in my graduating class had a vessel license and I don't remember any of us having to pay a dime for it.
The fool tells me his reasons; the wise man persuades me with my own.

Does everyone have to have a vessel license in Al? Or is it a age thing? Do I have to have one if i come and fish in Al? You do if you are going to operate a motorized boat. No, you don't. Visitors, I believe, are exempt.
If you’re a common sense person, you probably don’t feel you have a home in this world right now. If you’re a Christian, you know you were never meant to.

Say that again......... ?? the DOT medical card is only good for two years, and my CDL expires every four years. So, on the fourth year(CDL renewal year) you have the expense of the license renewal, the written exam, the background check, and the added cost of renewing your medical card all at once.
my 2nd amendment guarantees your 1st amendment!

Nope. We've managed to let the state turn driving a boat or a car into a privilege that is a licensed, taxable event. I can kind of see the argument for a drivers license since the state is providing the roads, but the state doesn't provide the water. If anything, Alabama Power or the Corp of Engs should issue boater licenses.

Revenue source to help with Marine Police.
Same thing with states issuing a hunting license and then making you buy a permit to use a gun, and a permit to use a bow, and one for a crossbow and one for a muzzleloader. You want to hunt all four? Buy a license and four weapon/season permits.
Same thing. Revenue source.

boating is not a freedom or a right.

So, I have to get a state issued permit (tax) to operate a boat, but I don't have to get one to operate a canoe? Is canoeing a right, but boating a privilege?
I have to show a state issued ID to vote in Alabama. I'm pretty sure voting is a right.

No such thing anymore. Got stopped by a state trooper boat last year and said the marine police were a thing of the past
We will burn that bridge when we get there

Only motorized boats require a reg and license. You, Jesus and anyone else can still paddle a boat and exercise your "Rights" without a license.

Sorry, I can't agree. The license was instituted to generate revenue. If it was needed to regulate anything.........why wouldn't other states that have an exponential more amount of boaters do the same. Florida has more boaters than any state and they don't require one las I heard.
