      Your comment references the account of a book called A Libertarian Walks into a Bear. It’s a great read, I recommend it!

      The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department would not let anyone in the state hunt the bears despite reports of attacks, so some local Grafton residents took it upon themselves to hunt them. Problem solved!

      Here is link to the platform of the Libertarian Party..

      It’s mainly about protecting personal and economic liberties and limiting the expansive growth of government.

        I am surrounded by libertarians. I do not need propaganda. US libertarians are just Republicans with a couple of minor tweaks, but they never shut up about being libertarians. Y’all are the vegans of the right wing.

          There are areas we agree with Republicans and areas where we agree with Democrats.

          For instance, this year the Liberty Caucus joined with Democrats to pass several housing reform bills to stop local governments from preventing new construction. They also joined with Republicans to eliminate the vehicle inspections. Whichever party wants to get government out of the way is who they work with!

      I have read it. It is an excellent account of the Free Town Project in Grafton and the launch of the Free State Project in New Hampshire. I recommend it to anyone who wants to move and join us!

    Bunch of middle aged white guys get mad at government for having rules, eventually figure out that having rules is better than not. Hope they get to the end there and move on soon

      I don’t think we have figured it out yet. In fact, we keep removing government rules!

      This year we eliminated vehicle inspections. Last year we phased out the Dividends and Interest Tax. I cannot wait to see how much government we can get rid of next year!
