Infrastructure? Emergency services? Park systems? Social support for the elderly, infirm and mentally handicapped? Who picks up these tabs? I'm all for govt reform, but how would the city of Philadelphia be run in a libertarian world?

You can keep saying it as often as you like. It only identifies you as one with no understanding of libertarianism.

What do you find so unreasonable about the wish to have government act in a limited realm of influence, namely, defense, a legal system and law enforcement?

Do you not acknowledge that government has grown to the point where it is involved an any pursuit you could name and legislates almost every human activity ever performed?

Libertarianism is not anarchy. And in my experience (real life discussion with intelligent people, not saturation of television news and media politics) most people who claim to support libertarian ideals are well versed in how our government works. A great many reasonable people are tired of interference, bureaucracy, waste and corruption. The solution they seek is to limit the authority of the bodies responsible.

But don't let this stop you from spewing your cute little catch-phrases.
