All I'm saying is that it would be nice if you had to have some basic clue about parenting before you became a parent. I mean, you need a license to drive a moped but not to raise a child? Which one sounds more potentially dangerous to you?
Drivers' licenses are already used for "social engineering" purposes, which is to say, to screw with people the licensing authority doesn't like. Parenting licesenses sound like a great idea until you realize it will be someone else who decides who is qualified and who isn't, and they will decide whether you are qualified or not.

Do you really truth your current government to make that decision for you?
