I respect your resolve Morrigan, but don't hold your breath - you might die if you try; nothing has changed  recently.  I've been watching pols in AK long enough to realize that with the exception of some of the folks who have family ties going back at least 1,000 years, the new arrivals have had little effect on government except when they (the  "cheechakos") hope to profit from Alaska's bounty.  Maybe the masses are asses?
