It is interesting to see that no libertarian on this thread (at least through post 137) can bring themselves to say your McCannibal idea is an absolute evil. One person said he would find it personally wrong, but hastened to add that he would not want to enforce his own morality on anyone else. Despite the rampant disease, death, and social chaos that such a "restaurant" would bring about, the libertarians are too paralyzed by their own strange worldview to actually condemn it.

Despite the rampant disease, death, and social chaos that such a "restaurant" would bring about Not so fast. No such thing would happen. No one will eat there, so no one is going to get sick. Furthermore, this restaurant won't be around long. And where would this person get his restaurant supplies? I'd imagine few if any would sell napkins or utensils to this restaurant.
No government whatsoever is needed to stop such a restaurant. I'm sure it just irks you that the restaurant would fail and close without government intervention, but its true.

Oh, on the contrary Zack, most of them have actually said, "Yes, I'd allow it..."
I call that the reductio ad nauseum argument...
