Do you still visit public libraries?   

Anyone here refuse to drive on public roads? 

To what depth do you apply your beliefs?

To a point where it doesn't make my life less enjoyable.

I make a clear distinction between public and statist, in my view of libertarianism.

You don't have to have a monopoly on law/violence to have things public.  You just need common ownership.

In States a fresh law is looked upon as a remedy for evil. Instead of themselves altering what is bad, people begin by demanding a law to alter it. ... In short, a law everywhere and for everything!

I use a teleporter to get from place to place, I will never use a statist road.

Not at all. Libertarianism will either conform to me, or it will be disparged.

None of these are anti-libertarian.

You're going to have to make the case - why doing those things is not libertarian.

Where exactly is the initiation or threat of physical aggression? Eh?

You're falling for the purist deviation fallacy.

Ron Paul is for self-government when compared to the Constitution. He's an anarcho-capitalist. Proof.

Moralizing the victim for the sin of pragmatically surviving and functioning in a society never made any sense to me.
