You wish. In a libertarian society, no one demands anything from anyone else as some imagined "Right". Everyone provides for their ownself FIRST, this includes ALWAYS being armed to provide for your own security.

Just that last one being exercized on 9-11, and there would still be a WTC in New York.

Government would be nearly non-existant. And the list goes on. But, you'd rather twist things, apply your own bias instead of how most people go through life anyway, and come up with absurd examples. Knock yourself out, but it makes you look kinda silly.

No government for the most part is called anarchy, which I think Libertarians embrace.

Their second thing is the embrace of subculture behavior in their treating vice on an equal basis with acceptable behavior.

I think of the movie "Escape From New York" as an example of the perfect Libertarian society.

Government would be nearly non-existant.

The founding fathers tried that for a few years. Made much wiser by the experience, they roundly rejected it in favor of the current Constitution.

This may come as a disheartening blow to some, but the truth is that Jefferson, Adams, Madison et al were much wiser than the average libertarian posting at FR.
