I can't speak for what libertarians want the way someone else did, because the term means about a zillion different things depending on who you are talking to. ... including the cartoon people you all have created in your heads. .. .but what you are describing is an anarchist to me, not a libertarian.

My understanding is that there are people who believe you should be unregulated in how you live you life UNTIL you pose a threat to others. Which is why I can find you plenty of people who describe themselves as libertarians who don't think freedom equates to some right to walk around infecting others. They don't believe people should be free to walk around stabbing or shooting others, either. If you believe that, it would make you an anarchist.

 

Have you ever run a business?

If so, did you do things that would harm your customers to "save a buck," or was it better for your business to bare expenses that would ensure customers kept coming back and buying things from you (never mind the civil liability you would risk by not taking reasonable care to ensure safety)?

Were your customers all mindless idiots who didn't think for themselves about whether what you were selling met any standards and just took whatever you gave them at whatever price you dictated, even if they risked death by doing so?

 

Are you trying to wake me up to the fact that there are dishonest and disreputable people in the world who do negligent things?

Imagine that.

Here's another news flash: The FAA does a way more costly and inefficient job of trying to prevent against that kind of behavior than the self regulation that would occur if people were left to feel responsible for their own well being.

Few people are getting on an airplane unless they are reasonably sure it is safe.
