Description: A Libertarian Walks Into a Bear by Matthew Hongoltz-Hetling Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description A tiny American towns plans for radical self-government overlooked one hairy detail: no one told the bears. Publisher Description Once upon a time, a group of libertarians got together and hatched the Free Town Project, a plan to take over an American town and completely eliminate its government. In 2004, Grafton, NH, a barely populated settlement with one paved road, turned that plan into reality.Public funding for pretty much everything shrank: the fire department, the library, the schoolhouse. State and federal laws didnt disappear, but they got quieter: meek suggestions barely heard in the towns thick wilderness.The bears, on the other hand, were increasingly visible. Graftons freedom-loving citizens ignored hunting laws and regulations on food disposal. They built a tent city, in an effort to get off the grid. And with a large and growing local bear population, conflict became inevitable.A Libertarian Walks Into a Bear is both a screwball comedy and the story of a radically American commitment to freedom. Full of colorful characters, puns and jokes, and one large social experiment, it is a quintessentially American story, a bearing of our national soul.
