Almost all laws violate individual liberties. Yet wise, measured laws are what makes society tolerable. If a law is not wise and measured, it is up to the citizens to press their representatives to change or repeal it. Yet libertarians want to use the law-the courts--to nullify the law, to bypass the legislature. It's a violently unconstitutional approach, but it is their favored approach.

In the final analysis, there's isn't a dime's worth of difference between a libertarian and an anarchist.

Boy do you have a warped imagination. Anarchists believe that there should be no rules. Libertarians believe that the rules (i.e. the Constitution) should be STRICTLY followed, so that if it's NOT in the Constitution, the Government shouldn't be doing it! In fact, liberals and conservative are simply two sides to the same coin. Both want absolute control over peoples' lives. Just in different areas. For conservatives, it's peoples' personal lives. For liberals, it's peoples' economic lives. In both cases, they want the government to control peoples' lives. Not the Libertarians.
