I know quite a few libertarians. Not one is impressive. Back in college, my wife and I visited friends with 20 acres of land outside town. They had set it up to be self sufficient and showed us around.
To make a long story short, almost everything on the place was stolen from the military, and they lived on a number of government assistance programs. Both worked part time in town, back then the NaziRepublican Party hadn't destroyed health care so even working two evenings a week was enough.

Just ask them what if your neighbors exercise their right to not meet fire codes or pay for fire service and set their house on fire. Their house will burn, BECAUSE of their libertarianism. They never have a reply.
