16. I remember Alaska before the pipeline, too.

I would gladly go back to those days ... paying a state income tax and not receiving a permanent fund dividend ... to have those assholes out of our government business. I really don't know how many more times we need to get screwed by them before our government wakes up. Just last year a US District Court judge ruled that Alaska's government has been almost criminally trusting when dealing with the Majors. And now this SB 21 which will give them, with no strings attached, $6 billion or more over the next five years. It's just insane.
