Earth to Harry:  Your traditional way of life ended the second the first check hit the Bush.  How's that working out for you so far?  

Note that it was the feds that put your villages in danger in the first place by building permanent structures on barrier islands.  If you guys know so much about the ice, why didn't you stop them a century ago?  Why don't you stop them today?  Either the free money was too enticing or you guys didn't know as much as you claim.

Like Publis said, this foolishness ends in 6 weeks.  Cheers -
