Not only because I am fairly libertarian and want to maximize personal freedom but also because often bringing the government in messes things up even more then if the government was not involved.

You should re-read the way the commons works. Common resources and freedoms are actually lost when left in a state of anarchy. They only appear free if there is such an abundance that nobody needs to worry about sharing. It's not that the government is made up of super-genuises, but the central government has the possiblility of being an honest broker, they after all, govern with the consent of the governed. It is those getting rich by taking more than their fair share of the common resources who are spending millions to promote libertarian anarchy.
