There must be a balance between, private ownership/usage. Land in Trust. LAnd
Available to the Public (parks and such), and Corporate Use.

True some pople in Alaska are out for the quick profit, but we also have alot
of people who are only part time Alaskans, namely they maybe have some
business/organization here in Alaska but they truely live in Seattle/Dallas and
such.. Take in case Alaska Airlines, Alascom, Arco, Many Environemtal Groups,
Some State/Federal Representatives and such.. They forget about us who live
here, work here, and maybe die here.

Land in Trust: Why must it be Alaska only or Western US only, why not turn some
of that land that is still there, private and such in the Eastern US and turn
it into preserves/or back inot land that is nearly pristine..

Even our State Governemtn cares more for Tourism and the LArge Corps than they
do for the private fol.. They make laws for corporate/private business that
don't make any sense.. Such as the Dairy Farms across from Anchorage which from
the beginning were doomed to failure.

Question is when do we balance land preservation and GNP. When do we realize
some of the problems with have with being behind other countries is becuase we
care more for land preservation, animals rights, and many other thnigs than
the individual land owner..

MAybe Im speaking out of my back side.. we shall see.. Im tired and a little
drunk (mildly high (meaning mildly drunk in the local lingua)).
