Alaska is not a cash cow.  The bounty of Alaska has much more value beyond it's exploitation.

Old time Alaskans and Alaska Natives know this.  

Some people have moved here thinking Alaska is nothing but their ticket to riches.
Some people wish to monetize all that makes Alaska, Alaska.  

Whether it's multinationals who think the resources of Alaska are there for their pickings, or the speculators who think they can make fast money off tourism or exploitation of Alaska's population, those people only look to Alaska as being their ticket to personal gain.

As Alaska is exploited and monetized it is becoming less and less like Alaska.

Alaska needs to be respected and protected from those who look to Alaska as nothing more than their gift horse.
