I'm a little blown away by this thread. It seems like everyone is fighting yet we are all in agreement? I believe it was sign who quoted that we all agree that education is good. If that is true then the question becomes: What is the most efficient way of getting our new brothers and sisters that education? It is my belief that the most efficient, cost effective way to do it is to coordinate at a state level.
A college education is good...is it mandatory to get one?
Only if you want to operate a lawn mower.

The comp system for licensing keeps track of everything. It makes buying a license quick and easy. I am a land owner and am tired of the gov. telling me I can't do this or I have to do that. If anyone can impliment a system that is better I am all for it! If someone else sets it up then we have to live by their rules. Is that any different than the state?
I'm not surewhat point you were trying to make by saying you are a landowner and tired of the govt. telling you what you can and can't do. Maybe I misunderstood.
My point is I don't always agree with gov. intervention and I can understand why others may fight against this for that reason. But it is my belief that in this case we are using the gov. for the benefit of hunting. I was trying to see this from your side. I wish you would make that same effort.

What I see here is a warped thought process. Yes I agree we should get an education but if you tell me I have to do it then I will oppose you. Weigh the positive effects againts the negatives. Are there any negative effects to the state getting our new hunters an education? here in wis you can take a combo. class gun & bow and get cert. in both at once. Search your hearts. Is it possible that some of you are just anti gov? And are in opposition just because it is the gov. And for those of you that argue that this will lead to more gov. involvement in our lives, remember WE are the gov. and have the right to decide on all laws and rules. If I follow your line of thought then we should have no laws and everyone should be able to do anything we want. How do you think that would work?
Opposition just because it's the govt. telling us what to do is a part of it, and not necessarily a bad reason. Remember, this is the "land of the free", not "land of the govt. knows best", or "land of the approved by my peers to do A, B, and C, but not X, Y, and Z."
This statement shows me that you have some deep seated hatred toward gov. in general. Maybe you should get involved to change the things you don't like.
In civilized society, there is obviously a line to be drawn somewhere well short of anarchy. So your suggestion that those opposed to mandatory BE are in favor of a lawless land is pretty disingenuous.
