Reply #11: You know what about nowhere?

If they had a bridge, it might not be nowhere.

If Palin McCain were not so "anti-earmark" I would even have some sympathy for the Pork Queen of the Yukon. Alaska is a pretty wild and harsh environment. By no means a majority, but a lot of people don't enjoy things like running water, or electricity. For some of these people, that is a choice. For others it is not.

The US wants those people up there to extract the oil. Now maybe some would say, let the oil royalties or oil companies pay for it.

But I can at least see the argument that it costs more to be in Alaska and at the same time AK is playing catch up with the rest of the country on standard of living.
