The real test for a libertarian is whether a world of hired police and pure profit motive is one into which most people would insert their children. Do we just dump 18 year old orphans and mental defectives into the world and say, "Make it work!" What about kiddie porn or snuff films made in countries where it was legal to sell your life or that of your children for money (to feed your family, or, simply buy a new vacation home.) What if I bought a small pacific island and wanted to let people get murdered there? Flat fee: $2000. Get your wife, girlfriend, dad, boss, or anybody else there by any means and we off them. It's legal! I can imagine all sorts of things in world without any regulation. What would be the motive to protect the environment or safely store nuclear isotopes? Would countries based upon a libertarian construct have any safety net for people who made bad choices or were unfortunate enough to be unlucky? I think a world like that would find human refuse to be a good component for pig feed. Quite cheap even.
