I too don't care for the party system. It should be vote for the best person, not the party. The way to do this in the system we have is be a nonpartisen.
The other way is for everyone to take turns. I don't mean in just term limits, but the idea that someone can be a congressman this term then be a senator next. It just seems the same people stay in and just change hats.
We need new blood and new ideas. The old ones are getting pretty ripe.

On Late night storm downs trees, sparks fires in Interior Alaska

I think they are clearing them out to build a ToysRUs or a large mall.
Watch every kid will be out there helping them saw down the trees. It's either that or the borough needs the wood to help build the fire under the still for the new heating fuel.

Typical weather person. Uses all this technology to predict the weather when all it takes is to step outside and look. Makes you wonder how the Farmer's Almanac was able to function before the scientists.

Instead of using the Polaris. Why can't we salvage some of the old mobile home frames, tear the structure off and build them to with stand Alaskan weather. This would be much cheaper and still give much needed affordable housing to those in need.
The time for $300,000 homes is over let's get back to basics.

Gee. You guys should of lived in Missouri or Nevada like I did. We had snakes and scorpions. Nothing like walking through your garden and have something stick it's tongue out at you. There everyone would panic if you ran over a skunk. Nothing works better at clearing the drive thru at McDonalds than having skunk juice on your bumper.

Fairbanks is already the better place. The way to keep it that way is to support locally owned businesses and to develop our own manufacturing and agriculure.
My uncle always said the grass always looks greener on the otherside, then you get there and find out it's only crabgrass.

Another point not brought up. Is the larger stations such as Fred Meyers, etc are given discount prices from suppliers where stores like Curry's isn't. This is also why stores such as them have to charge slightly higher costs.
Until we all have an equal playing field you will continue to see this happen. What happened alot was by the time they were able to sell the gas in the tanks, the prices went way up over what they made. This happened at 10 Mile Mercantile also. Now there is only one fuel station out on Chena Hot Springs and it's at 24 mile.
Like I've said before progress went out the door when we started getting real lemon in our dish soap and imitation in our lemon ade.

I'm starting to wonder how many of the bloggers on here are paid. I once posted my resume on the writer's guild site and got proposals to write blogs such as some of these and get paid for it. It didn't matter if it was my opinion or not. Depending on who paid was the way the blog went. Just curious.

I wonder if we can blame all the hot air in DC for global warming. It's not about who is to blame for the change if anyone. But we do need to make changes and not by strangling the common person in doing it. It shouldn't be up to the middle class to pay for it.
Maybe the dinosaurs will wake back up and solve the whole thing.
