Summary: 

Sorry to be such a snag, but if anyone is curious what kind of 
environment is created by libertarianism, I suggest they take a 
look at Haiti or, say, Guatemala.  I am personally experienced with
Haiti, so I will use it as an example here.

What has happened in Haiti is exactly what's happening in New York
under the Reagan/Koch administrations.  There are basically only two 
classes, the very rich and the very poor.  (Of course, the very
rich are not necessary all that rich by American standards.)  The 
rich prey on the poor, I have a friend there who has about 6 serveants,
and multi-national companies, such as, Motorola, Xerox, General Foods, etc.
chew them up and spit them out.  I've seen peasants (that's what they
call them) being beaten up in the street by bourgeois business men
because they tried to sell them a box of Chicklets.  

Not too unlike the old robber baron days here in the United States, just
on a smaller scale.  If you are a libertarian (true libertarian) you
are probably opposed to any kind of law that attempts to regulate
your behavior.  Once you visit a place like Haiti you will realize
the dangers of this.
