From what I can tell, my "why" is mostly an inborn sensibility. I hate bullies and I'm willing to entertain unusual ideas.
The case for the state being essentially a criminal organization is pretty clear cut, if you're willing to hear it.
More philosophically, I guess my "why" is that I like peace and libertarianism is the only political philosophy that I think is compatible with a peaceful society.

I think for me the reason is in my wiring as well. The more I observe of people the more I think "The Righteous Mind" got it right.

I would like to think that I'm a libertarian just because I'm so smart that I figured it out.
However, occasionally my mom will unearth some 4th grade writing assignment and it's clear as day that I just started out this way.
