A question for libertarians: do they expect the government to enforce property rights?
Who enforces libertarians' property rights? The actual deeds to their property? Their properties' boundries, both private and business.

2. From what I've read, most mainstream libertarians believe in limited government
They believe that, for the most part, that there should be a government to pursue & prosecute unlawful force & fraud, enforce contracts, imprison the convicted, and protect us against other people's crimes.

Other than that, they believe that people should be left alone to do what they please.

I think that's correct.

7. Based on what I've been told
Edited on Sat May-22-10 09:20 PM by The Northerner
They said that we should be self-reliant and, if we cannot provide for ourselves when sick, we should seek assistance from family & friends or charitable organizations and peoples.

Basically, if needed, most everything should be sought from people providing things voluntarily--according to most libertarians.
