When I hear discussions about a libertarian society, I continually hear
references to a vast information network which will provide information
about any service at a reasonable price [reasonable having an upper limit
of what I am currently paying in taxes].  

I am currently looking for a car.  I would be willing to pay for information
about the type I am looking for.  The information I would like is:
	list of cars that would fit my needs
	ratings for each car
	price range (list as well as real)
	reliability of dealers in my area which carry these cars
		for service
	
If this sort of information is not being distributed under our present
form of government/society (where there are people willing to pay for it),
how will it ever be done in Libertaria?
