Consenting to an evil deed makes it neither right nor tolerable. The Libertarians are advocating a form of infantilism: "I want, and therefore give me!"

Not at all... The moral crusaders are saying, "I know what's best for everyone, so you WILL do as I say." The libertarian though is simply, "what I do in the privacy of my own domocile is none of your damn business, as long as I am hurting no-one else." The libertarians are not demanding anything (as in your allusion to "give me"), but simply asking to be left alone.

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.
