text: Until I started reading articles and comments in the Dispatch, I never imagined that any Alaskan would have a problem with folks who subsidize their life with food hunted, fished or gathered in the wild. 
  Those objecting are Alaskans who are live surrounded by 24 hour grocery stores and restaurants, with easy access by car or bus and a budget to buy what they need. 
  They also live in urban and "semi-urban" areas of Alaska with greater economic advantages than rural or bush areas, which affects how they "judge" other Alaskans who do depend on year 'round subsistence to provide for and to meet the needs of their families. 
  Their attitudes seem shaped, in part, by a lack of knowledge of the Alaska outside of the cities and the "Valley" live hundreds of thousands of Alaskans whose lives are vastly different. 
  Alaska it's self is diverse in it's terrain, climate, access, wildlife, lifestyles, economies, temperatures, languages, in manners of dress, modes of transportation, even time zones.
