Rig--

Sorry to say that your "illegal alien" mantra really has nothing to do with this issue.

Among other things your criticism of Spitzer for his drivers license proposal, still, mirabile dictu, makes no more sense than it did before Spitzer's revelation about prostitutes. It is still better to have as many drivers have licenses as possible. Among other things, it's a powerful incentive to get insurance.

You can be hit by an uninsured driver, which your attitude makes more likely. But the problem is that your attitude makes it more likely that the rest of us, who disagree with you and your fellow giant intellects --that is, the sensible ones--are also more likely to be hit by an uninsured driver.

If you think that illegal immigrants, deprived of the opportunity for legal licenses, won't drive, you are charmingly naive.
