Nicole Whittington-Evans - This is exactly why people like you should remain silent when discussing Alaskan issues. You claim you live in Anchorage and that you speak for Alaskans, but you don't even know the most basic things about Cold Bay. It's not that they need an "ice-capable" ferry. There was an attempt to use a hovercraft that presumable could have floated over ice. Unfortunately, the winds and the high seas are the problem, not ice. But of course, you wouldn't know that because you phone your "Alaskaness" in from the Lower 48 and just drop by occasionally to make believe that you know what you're talking about.
