It is very possible that many things libertarians say would not work the way they describe in practice. What isn't rational is when people describe the status quo when explaining why things will not work. Usually people lack imagination, curiosity, and patience. The alternative is always force. Force seems like it will always work... it doesn't. We live that reality.
Force seems like it will always work... it doesn't.
That's it, right there. That's what we understand and other people don't and it's why we think differently in a pretty fundamental way.

Most don't even acknowledge the actual force at play. I remember the first time I heard Ron Paul explain the none aggression principle. Its such a good principle to use as a guide for actions. This is why most people are all over the place. They do not have many guiding principles. They move based on emotion and feelings. Those things are important but when they rule you your life will be chaos. When you understand this the state of the world suddenly makes sense.
One day I may feel this way. Another day I might feel the opposite. This is where conservatives are on to something. We shouldn't just tear down things without cause. You shouldn't take down a fence until you understand why it was put up in the first place. That said, conservatives are terrible at conserving tradition and values. This is largely due to a lack of strong core guiding principles. Something fundamental. Something that isn't so specific that it can't be widely applied.
