Tim, once again you're using a straw man that you've set up
yourself.  Your entire argument assumes that people would
always fail to see the need to cooperate.  You clearly see that
need, why do you assume, despite the constant comments to
the opposite, that libertarians don't?

Most libertarians realize that it is in the individuals SELF INTEREST
to cooperate, and to shun those who don't.    (Gee, quite
a concept for some people to swallow, isn't it?)

It's YOU who are ignoring that.  

As an aside, I'm amused that you consider NJ "liberatarian".  I 
strongly disagree.  The very traffic problems you use as an example
are proof.
