15. I think as much as anything, I'm totally disgusted with what's going on in my state.

Our legislature is on the brink of giving ConocoPhillips, BP and EXXON a $2 billion a year tax break (which comes straight out of our state budget) with absolutely no guarantees of anything in return. Allegedly this is supposed to increase production on the North Slope, but there are no promisees in the deal -- basically, they're just giving Big Oil $2 billion a year to spend as they wish, where they wish, and if Alaskans lose out, so be it.

That's the biggie, but they've also passed a Stand Your Ground law, a nullification law with regard to guns (i.e., the troopers can arrest any federal employee who tries to enforce federal law -- yeah, THAT'S going to work), they've rolled back the anti-pollution measures we put in place by citizens' referendum to keep the cruise ships from dumping their waste in our waters ... it goes on and on and on. Oh, and they want to take (the dwindling) public money and give it to private schools (clearly against Alaska's constitution).

Alaska is being ALECsized, and I don't even like to think about it.

So what goes on nationally is just icing on the cake.
