[aoeuhtns]

People are adjusting to the incorrect assumption that most activities are now privileges rather than rights. The original concept of law in this country was that of a blacklist - whatever isn't explicitly disallowed is a right. Now it seems to have switched to a system where we ask helicopter-mom government for permission and plead as much as we can while she begrudgingly tells us, "Alright, but just this one time!", then watches us from the bushes with binoculars trying to keep us safe from boogiemen.

I believe that flying is a privilege, and that we'll all have to adjust to that fact. I call it a fact, many of you may call it a urban myth. Here are a few reasons why I believe this, not believing the whole terrorist attack mumbo-jumbo: link

The right of passage is, of course, an inalienable right.

The right of passage using a certain means of conveyance, however, is far less clear - thus the presupposed "necessity" of licensing drivers & pilots to prevent the problems associated with individual mobility en masse.

I'm not sure that driving a car or piloting a plane should be considered a "privilege," but I can certainly see the hazards associated with those activities versus traversing on foot.
