Honestly, don't waste your time trying to get Libertarians to understand that such things like the common good exist and that public funding of those things is for the benefit of everyone. They don't see it, they don't want to see it, and they refuse to see it. It's all about about them and reasonable, rational explanations don't work. Don't mind the fact that the American Constitution's own Preamble sets forth the very policy and belief that the common welfare is to be worked for by the Federal government. Libertarians have foolishly bought into the belief that the selling of goods is all important and that everything is a commodity to be traded. They are one of the many reasons I'm working to leave the USA for good. If and when I can take up residence in a more intelligent nation, I will gladly work for citizenship and happily renounce my American citizenship.
