Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 In 1999, the town of Grafton was experiencing a drought, and the bears were starving. The town’s few remaining farmers watched the stunted grass, hoping against all evidence that it would develop into something worth cutting.
#2 The town of Grafton is made up of many small historical villages that were separated from each other by the encroaching forest. The bears began to eat the cats in Soule’s village, and soon people were wondering if eating cats was a gateway drug to eating humans.
#3 I was fascinated by the idea that bears might be eating cats in Grafton. There was no video evidence, but something was emerging from the underbrush to snatch up felines when their backs were turned.
#4 The first encounter between the New England colonists and the British monarchy happened in 1776, when a young man named Eleazar Wilcox was attacked by a bear. The colonists were constantly fighting with the British monarchy over their rights, and this incident proved just how dangerous bears were.

Insights from Chapter 1

#1

In 1999, the town of Grafton was experiencing a drought, and the bears were starving. The town’s few remaining farmers watched the stunted grass, hoping against all evidence that it would develop into something worth cutting.

#2

The town of Grafton is made up of many small historical villages that were separated from each other by the encroaching forest. The bears began to eat the cats in Soule’s village, and soon people were wondering if eating cats was a gateway drug to eating humans.

#3

I was fascinated by the idea that bears might be eating cats in Grafton. There was no video evidence, but something was emerging from the underbrush to snatch up felines when their backs were turned.

#4

The first encounter between the New England colonists and the British monarchy happened in 1776, when a young man named Eleazar Wilcox was attacked by a bear. The colonists were constantly fighting with the British monarchy over their rights, and this incident proved just how dangerous bears were.

#5

Wilcox’s bears were attracted to the homesteads because of the food they provided. The bears would break down the stalks of four contiguous hills to get to the corn, and they would eat the sweet apples.

#6

America’s founding fathers didn’t understand the importance of the bear problem, and the British Crown had no interest in dealing with it either. Instead of dealing with the issue, America’s leaders put a price on bear heads, which turned every armed homesteader into a bounty hunter.

#7

The first settlers in Grafton County, Vermont, were military captains Joseph Hoyt and Aaron Barney, who brought one hundred apple trees, their families, and a few dozen other optimists in 1783. They hated taxes even more than bears.

#8

Grafton’s founders had little interest in law of any kind. They purchased land from King George and other speculators, and then ignored centuries of Abenaki law by paying no taxes to the British. They also petitioned the New Hampshire Council to exempt them from taxes, but received no reply.

#9

The foot-dragging on the tax-paying caused much hand-wringing among the government officials. The New Hampshire Council was facing financial pressures and couldn’t even afford to pay its modest staff.

#10

In 1781, the Grafton region began to mobilize against New Hampshire, as President Weare had promised that he would turn his back on the common enemy and lead his entire force against that state and destroy it entirely.

#11

John Babiarz, a libertarian, was working for the consulting firm Aetna in 1987 when the market crashed. He was able to remain calm because he belonged to a group of people who outdo even traders in their fidelity to logic: libertarians.

#12

Libertarians believe in rationalism, and place the highest value on using logic and cognitive skills to solve questions of policy. They also have a passion for individual rights that borders on fanaticism.

#13

In Grafton, John and Rosalie began having bear problems of their own. The bears knocked apart their wooden beehives, raided the sweet honey within, and tore apart the ram they had bought to protect their property.

#14

In 2002, Babiarz ran again and got 3 percent of the vote, which was six times higher than Paul's presidential bid. He felt that he was close to something big if he could just keep building his political base.

#15

The Republican Party has had a difficult time growing past its libertarian roots. This is largely due to the party’s commitment to following logic chains wherever they may lead, regardless of social mores.

#16

The four libertarians who came to New Hampshire had thinner wallets than Ford and other would-be utopians, but they had a new angle they believed would help them move the Free Town Project out of the realm of marijuana-hazed reveries and into reality. They would harness the power and infrastructure of an existing town.

#17

The town of Grafton, New Hampshire, was chosen as the location for Bungtown. It was a place where the civic pride was low and where regulations were few. It was a place where freedom could be lived.

#18

The colonists invited a bevy of libertarian neighbors to join them in seizing control of the town government. They figured that just a couple of dozen new voters could join an existing base of like-minded people to tip the scales in favor of a new order.
