koan's wrong about the history of the AK permanent fund. Republicans created it so Dems wouldn't squander it like they did the bonus payment they'd gotten earlier.

koan, I think your efforts in Alaska were great.

But Alaska had a very small population and still does. Hasn't Norway done essentially the same thing by creating a "fund" from their resource income?

What if a governor in Alaska NOW asked the legislature to END all extraction of carbon emitting resources so that global warming could be curtailed?

Would you support that?

>> Our public schools are top notch (although the pubs when in power keep cutting their budgets).

Huh? They're squarely in the lower-middle area of most rankings.

Despite being the third highest cost per-pupil.

You're confusing SPENDING with the QUALITY OF EDUCATION. They are two totally different things.
