corinne - I get that same problem. Copy your post before hitting the submit button. That way even if you get that error, you don't have to re-write it, you'll just have to paste it.

I cannot speak for the guilt or innocence of these men serving time in jail and I won't. I can say that in my opinion, a series of articles that presents no new information, just consolidates what was already available, is disappointing, divisive and solves nothing for anybody. Without actual investigative reporting, this piece serves only to reinforce my thoughts and disappointments about "journalism" and what it has become.
I pray that all of these families find their justice.

Yup. Everything bad is Republican. Everything good is Democrat. Such an inspirational and accurate insight.
Personally, I vote that every one of them, dem and rep alike get voted out. I'd also adore seeing to Presidential candidates worth a vote and worthy of the office running, but if wishes were possible, I'd see that unicorn in my back yard right about now. I guess we'll just stick with "right, bad! left, good!" for right now. It solves a lot.

Pffft. I am conservative, I love the state I was born in, I have no plans on leaving and I certainly can read and write beyond an elementary or junior high level. Broad generalizations and assumptions often prove those making them to be capable of little more than ridiculous ranting.

alaskaflower - It is one thing for the state to "share the wealth" and to ensure that rural communities are taken care of as well. It is a completely different thing to take away a PFD from the people it was designed to go to and redistribute that money to rural Alaska. The PFD system was set up for all Alaskans to share in the natural resources of the state (my understanding of it). Some of the ideas proposed here, including that of the letter-writer, are wealth REDISTRIBUTIONS rather than distributions. There is a difference, and I certainly hope that disagreement here is based in that flaw, rather than prejudice.

For those of us concerned about fraud, the State of Alaska has a fraud system set up. Here's the link: https://www.pfd.state.ak.us/fraud/index..... You think someone is committing PFD fraud? Turn 'em in.

Inupiaqdiva - Myself, my husband and my children are Alaska residents (my kids and I were all born here, even). That doesn't change just because his JOB serving our country sends us/him elsewhere. Would you like to demand PFDs stop for college students attending school out of state? Your idea, like Gideon's, is not a good one. Since you want ideas (for a system that isn't broken), I'll give you mine: leave the PFD alone. If rural Alaska is suffering, then we can find a way to ease that suffering without punishing others (e.g. residents who happen to be military).

Hmmmm. Interesting assumption about how PFDs are spent. All sorts of interesting assumptions - chief among which is that the PFD is to "change our livelihood". While perhaps creative, this idea is silly and intrusive.

Ok CurtJ. I'll bite. Give me specifics. What needy people has the Bush administration taken money from and which rich folk got it? Please go beyond "all things right: bad, all things left: good."
Otherwise it's just sad ranting.
