I'm still on the run, Robert, so I only have time for a small, quick
response -- consider this a "wrathlet", then. I'm afraid your
caricature is very unfair. May I suggest a book called "The Libertarian
Reader: Classic and Contemporary Writings from Lao-Tzu to Milton
Friedman," Edited by David Boaz?

Not knowing whether you're being serious or not, I can't make a real
reply, so I'll just respond with an aphorism: "TANSTAFL".
