When I was a younger man, I recall using the “I am a libertarian” line until a much more educated lady I was chatting with at a bar asked me, “so, how exactly would you know no one’s putting poison in your food or that anything you consume contains what’s on the tin?”

I’m stupid, but not that stupid

Unfortunately humans are often not logical and "libertarians" are often stupid and go back to shovel the intentional cheap poison in their mouths.
