If I may, as a libertarian, I would disagree with a few of your points. As you say, they are your perspective, but as you say you are interested in understanding my position, they need to be addressed.
This part in particular, I feel safe in saying that most libertarians would disagree, that most would say the individual and their liberty is the most important thing (we're all rugged individualists dontcha know
). Individuals are pretty much the focus.
I might talk about how I went from the left to libertarian actually...
