Politics and greed in licensing

Every five years I get a renewal notice in the mail for my driver's license.

I can mail a check or renew online with a credit card.

But if I want to cancel the motorcycle endorsement - it costs an extra $35 - I have to drive to a DMV office and wait in line to deal with a surly and stupid civil servant.

I can't do that online. 

Every couple of years my license to carry a concealed weapon (a gun) expires.

To renew, I have to go to a nasty hole in the wall office of the sheriff's department, get a picture taken, fill out a form, and pay on the spot.
