No, but you could certainly make a libertarian case for legalization of murder, especially murder-for-hire (free enterprise and all).
Quote: He also suggests that Libertarians would outlaw charitable organisations that try to help the poor!
Outlaw? No. Strangle? Yep. That seems to be the case. Here in Texas, our government has been going more and more towards this type of libertarianism over the past few years, with less and less of the governments money going to help people with things like food kitchens and shelters. Yet we've had story after story after story about how the charities don't have enough food or money or resources in general anymore. I'd be more willing to let the government out of the assistance business if not for the fact that the private sector doesn't seem to be covering it (especially the people with the most money who have been proven to be greedy assholes).
