Description
A Libertarian Walks Into a Bear: The Utopian Plot to Liberate an American Town (and Some Bears) In 2004, a group of libertarians set out to create a self-sufficient community in Grafton, New Hampshire. Their plan, known as the Free Town Project, aimed to eliminate government and live off the grid. However, they overlooked one crucial aspect: the local wildlife. As the town's government dissolved, the bears in the area began to take notice. The libertarians' disregard for hunting laws and regulations attracted the bears, who were drawn to the abundance of food. The bears soon found themselves in a tent city, where the libertarians were trying to live off the land. The situation was both humorous and terrifying, as the libertarians struggled to adapt to their new way of life. This book tells the story of the Free Town Project and its unexpected consequences. It is a tale of adventure, politics, and the human relationship with nature.
