Libertarians. Hate them or love them, they are an enduring part of Americana and the dream of prosperity - free spirits just looking for their chance to escape the trappings of regulation and modern society. But what happens when Libertarians get the chance to run the government?
Well, that is exactly what happened in the town of Grafton, New Hampshire in 2004 when social architects choose the small town as ground Zero for the 'Free Town' project. The ultimate expression of deregulation.
This week Lindsey and John dive into the plight of Grafton, and the experiment's ultimate destruction by American Black Bears.
Plus, Lindsey tackles two difficult bar questions. Did she get them right? Better yet, will you get them right?
And extra exciting: We have a new sponsor! Thank you Quimbee for coming onboard!
