Ironic as it ends up being, those who hold the libertarian position of unbridled license for all to do whatever they please without restriction or fear of consequences, are the very ones the most responsible for the INCREASE in government interference in people's personal lives, as the government is called on by the general populace to protect them from those who will not cooperate with others in society.

Exactly. Libertarianism, if put into practice, would quickly lead to anarchy and chaos, which would soon usher in jackbooted tyranny.
