I simply do not accept the basic premise that people will do the "right" thing, out of the goodness of their hearts, which is sort of implied by the Libertarian's live and let live approach. It's not difficult to construe a Libertarian's dislike of government as an "anarchic" dislike of all law.

I do not think that people will just do the "right" thing either. I also think that is fine. Libertarians do like the law, they see a need for it. It is there to protect our country from foreign invaders. It is there to have good laws(murder, rape, theft, ect.) Libertarians do want government, just small un-oppressive government.
