I have no objection to being licensed to drive, or having my car titled, or having my bank regulated, but here it seems to me that greater national control would improve the "quality of life". It also seems that in Libertaria these things would be done on an even smaller scale, and make moving even more inconvenient. JoSH can explain why this is not so. Bob Weiler.
