Your rights are not absolute.

Getting an admission of such is like pulling teeth, however...

The libertarian cannot admit such a thing. To do so is to refute the entire philosophy. Libertarianism rejects society as an entity. It must. Otherwise, some sort of societal rules must be accepted.

Myself, I'd be perfectly happy if all the libertarians moved to some state like Idaho and set up their own country. They could abolish government there and go about their individual lives however they chose. Of course, they'd have to compensate those already living there.
