So your argument is we don't need any rules or laws or any collective agreements in a society....because everyone instinctively knows the right things to do and will always do them?

Rules are great buddy. But why you think that Donald trump, Hillary Clinton, or Ted Cruz should be making those rules is beyond me. This isn't a question of abstract philosophy, it's one regarding the nature of a country where children drink lead but we have plenty of money to drop an ordinance on a tribesman anywhere on earth. I'm truly happy for you that you're content with the state of affairs in American politics, I'm simply not. As for instinct, mine tell me that I wasn't meant to accept that the worst people in my society should be elevated to power simply because 75% of my countrymen believe that government has a mandate to whatever it wants because they're too afraid of the consequences of change. Libertarianism isn't a rejection of civility and order; it's a rejection of the idea that the US federal government has any legitimacy when it actively chooses the interests of corporations and Wall Street over those of its citizens.
