OT-Hi, Dwight

I have lived in Alaska for nearly 30 years. Alaska was admitted to the union a little over 40 years ago. It was purchased from Russia in 1867 for $7,200,000. When I arrived the State was over 90% federally owned. (It is somewhat less today, but the # is so depressing that I have put it out of my mind.) Some of us have spent most of our adult lives coping with the attitude of folks like you that we want to acquire part of the federal domain for a penny on the dollar, or that since California is so heavily covered with asphalt that we shouldn't be allowed to build any roads, or that there might be deleterious effects to this or that wilderness area if a single-engine airplane is allowed to fly through the airspace. I wish to go on record that in all this time, no one from the East who has communicated with me has ever referred to us as "elitist"... I suspect that down there in Kiwi-land Mqrice and others have a saying something like: "the pot calling the kettle black".

P. S. (Edit-blatant attempt to make less off-topic) I guess the positive spin would be that we (and the rest of our civilization) are so spread out that we require G* handsets to stay in communication.
