Oh. I see. You don't know what a libertarian is, Happygal. Libertarians are not anarchists.
A libertarian believes that government attracts men who crave power, and that government attracts men who love rules. Thus, a government tends to extend beyond it's legitimate power, in order to smother any threat to both the leaders who crave power, and the followers who crave security. Government, by it's very nature, tends to become a tyranny. For that reason, government must be closely watched, and held to a written Constitution.
Civilization is not possible without law, and laws are useless without a government to enforce them. A libertarian believes that society MUST have law in order to survive, thus a libertarian believes in the rule of law.
