I spent some time in Alaska, saw much of it, met a lot of people. A handout is not what they are looking for, rather, a handup. Alaskans are a very hardy and self reliant people. Pork is only pork when it is someone else's hog.

I hope you had a wonderful time in Alaska. You bet we are hardy and self-reliant. As an Alaskan, I thank you for your commonsense in the face of way too much bull-pucky. LOL

Hey Chena, I'm a little surprised no one in this great nation is speaking about the US Navy north slope oil reserve. I have walk on it, the oil is utterly coming out of the ground. Does anyone know how many barrels of oil there?
