- Can you enlighten me? Was there no license required before the 30's.
-
- I was trying to point out the difference between a right and a privilege.
-
- For example many people believe health care is a right. To my

- right. It may be a privilege that the middle and upper-class may choose
- to bestow to the lower, but in no way is it a right.
