I don't think I'm confused. I'm well aware that the word "libertarian" is used to describe a vasty range of beliefs, but I gave a realistic description of mainstream libertarianism in the United States.

Yes, I'm aware. I'm talking of course about government regulations. Clearly we're not talking about the non-existent regulations imposed by this hotel or wedding planner.
