In 2004, they set their sights on Grafton, NH, a barely populated settlement with one paved road. When they descended on Grafton, public funding for pretty much everything shrank: the fire department, the library, the schoolhouse…The anything-goes atmosphere soon caught the attention of Grafton's neighbors: the bears…The bears smelled food and opportunity.</div><div><br></div><div><i>A Libertarian Walks into a Bear</i> is the sometimes funny, sometimes terrifying tale of what happens when a government disappears into the woods.
