Libertarianism has its limits, and access to the McRib sandwich is one of them

My post from Madison a few weeks ago about the McRib and world peace has enabled me to enter the elite world of McRib bloggers, and while reading this fascinating post by a McRib-obsessed guy named Andy Fox (no relation, as far as I know) I came across this even more fascinating statement (in the comments, but also by Andy Fox):

i'm a republican/libertarian ... and I believe that the government should stay out of peoples lives unless its an emergency, I think the game McDonalds is playing with us qualifies as an emergency. Here it is, a week away from Thanksgiving and still no goddamned McRibs anywhere in Southern California.

I'm getting furious just writing this.
