That town was in New Hampshire, tho I can't recall the name from memory.

They voted out their garbage collection service. Civic overreach or some bullshit. Then the bears came, and got accustomed to being around people. And started breaking into homes. People were attacked. I think there was at least one casualty.

Libertarianism is great for the individual, but anti-thetical to the needs of the group.

I don't know why it's so hard for some people to acknowledge that their own personal choices and beliefs might not make the best policy. Government and law, do not need to mirror your internal dialogue. That is some serious center of the universe shit right there. They'd do well to ponder on the notion of sonder.
