How is that anything other than an assault on my 5th amendment freedom of contract?
And if it's not, why is it not while another person's desire to build a large, loud nightclub next to my house (prevented by zoning) is?

You missed the part where I said I agree that it's over-regulated? Now, if my medical group doesn't want to hire you as a surgeon unless you have a medical license are you entitled to the job? Because that's what we're discussing, not your attempts to word barf the question to death. I'm not an anarchist, the government has a very limited role to play. The problem is that the government very easily and quickly moves beyond that role into stuff they should stay out of, especially as it pertains to Constitutionally protected rights.
