text: Fact #2. The 'civilized nation poisoning this group of people' is the native peoples' poisoning themselves with alcohol from the village store, one of which is operated by Bethel Native Corp. Unless you don't want to call Alaska Natives 'civilized'. I suppose then you could try blaming the alcohol issues, now rearing their ugly head(s), on 'da ebul White Debbul', where it seems to land far too often. In fact, the blame is squarely on those who are drinking and the owners/operators of the stores, both of which are apparently native owned or operated by, and employ large numbers of native peoples.
  
  It's no surprise that the 'legal' stores are now operating as a staging ground for alcohol-fueled disruptions and violence. This was warned about, and ignored, by people in Bethel who wanted to drink and to hell with the surrounding areas. Big noise was made about how 'Bethel was maturing' and 'prohibition was lifting'. Now we get to see the results.
