Remember, we haven't even responded to the fact that our dear Governor broke our ethics laws. We just let everything go up here. Hence we're becoming another nightmare locale with one of the worst education systems in the country, one of the worst child abuse records in the country, one of the worst alcoholism rates in the country. Oh, we are a lovely, lovely place to live. Just think, Sarah and Ted are believed to be leaders here. How terribly sad that we find it so very difficult to do better. It has to do with being Alaskan.
