-A 46-year resident of Alaska, like Ms. Whitewing, I have no entitlement feelings about the PF dividend.
-We've raised four children in Alaska and have always viewed their PFDs as a gift/an investment in their futures. That we even have PF earnings gives me hope. If those earnings can be part of a solution that ensures a sustainable future for all AK's children, I'm for it.
-Seriously, "Sixpack?" I'm offended by the condescending moniker as every Alaskan should be, perhaps especially those who depend on subsistence hunting to feed their families.
-It's possible many of those folks who are getting their "sharpshooters" ready in case of a PFD "raid," are the very ones who benefit from many of the "bloated" govt. services.
-Finally, those who have the time to argue, complain, point fingers--over and over again--don't you have jobs? If not, can't you find some worthwhile endeavor, like volunteering? With any luck, once the services you need from govt. are gone, maybe you'll go away too.
