      I forgot about the bear town, hilarious. Thanks for the laugh again.

      The experiment was called the “Free Town Project” (it later became the “Free State Project”), and the goal was simple: take over Grafton’s local government and turn it into a libertarian utopia. The movement was cooked up by a small group of ragtag libertarian activists who saw in Grafton a unique opportunity to realize their dreams of a perfectly logical and perfectly market-based community. Needless to say, utopia never arrived, but the bears did! (I promise I’ll explain below.)

          Sorry man, it’s the animal. You can’t keep bears away from people not cleaning up their garbage and feeding the bears with one policeman and no vehicle, because they won’t pay for upkeep.
