This is a worldview that is obsessed with rational 'self-interest'. Charity is NOT a tenant of libertarianism, it is a footnote that they only allow because it's not managed by the government.

1) I'm not libertarian but your wrong. It's different to respect
freedom of choice and personal responsibility than it is to be obsessed with self-interest, you need to understand the difference. 2) Everyone is concerned with self-interest and self-improvement. You can make claims that you are an entirely selfless being that cares about nothing other than your fellow man but that's disingenuous. 3) Charity is part of conservatism and libertarianism, I understand your opinion but you are generalizing and are wrong.

If the government is so terrible then why not work on making it more efficient instead of just scrapping the whole thing?

Not wanting a historically inefficient and spending happy government to control my healthcare is different than not wanting a government at all. I believe that I can make better decisions about my healthcare than a bureaucrat can.

The other parts of your post were essentially drivel. Your analysis of a free market / capitalist economy is willfully ignorant of reality. (or you just really don't understand the libertarian position) Different strokes for different folks I suppose. Go read a little bit about what libertarians stand for (not from your liberal blog analysis but from actual libertarians) and then engage in conversation. Half of the things you said were actually pro-libertarian.
Good luck with the hemorrhoids, based on your worldview I guess you should blame the wealthy people for them.
