One of the problems with libertarianism is that it's self negating. The pathologies they unleash in the name of "liberty" create so many societal problems, pressures, and interest groups, that ten times more governmental controls end up being invoked than were necessary to suppress the pathologies in the first place.
Most libertarians would do well to read history before 1898. A brief perusal of the French Revolution should be enough to break anyone out of libertarianism forever.
