That these licenses do serve a useful purpose in defending the doctor or hairstylist or salon from litigation. I agree with you completely, but individual bear some of the blame for this rediculous system with frivolous lawsuits because of their own stupidity. As sad as it is your statement, “Most likely you would only visit witch doctors and snake oil salesmen,” is all too believable.

Look what happened when that guy tried to make a nuclear reactor in his house.  He didn’t tell anyone about it and if he had been smarter he could have covered up a nuclear incident of his own making. This would mean people would be damaged by his efforts and not even know who did it.  And whatsay they did notice by the time they all have cancer, well then they won’t even be able to afford a lawyer on account of they spent all their money of treatment.

I’m not against private nuclear reactors though.  I’m saying there has to be some authority or someway to prevent things like that from happening in an anarchist/minarchist society. 

That guy probably didn’t intent to violate anyone’s rights.  People like him could theoretically provide the world with all the medical isotopes it needs and for low cost
if they were able to operate… but there has to be some sort of enforcement mechanism.

**Okay my brother is just telling me this could be prevented with the use of private security who carry Geiger counters. 

Maybe…. But he could have his own guards.

Only the State can protect me from tie-dye afros and militant mohawks.

How else is bonqueesha sposed to get her hair did?  By trusting some capitalist pig dog? 

The state’s opinion on acceptable hairdos has jurisdiction over her own.   Mmmm hmmmm.
