My previous comment continues.   These cities,  while most Alaskans might not want to live in , provide the ingenuity that allows you to write posts on this article calling Ca. The Peoples Republic of California.  The one out of 6 Americans, that are Californians,are one of the largest 'donor' states that  send their tax dollars to Washington,  where they are redistributed to states like Alaska that are not self supporting. There are many Californias, and  I  encourage you to visit and educate yourselves on your Pacific neighbors, and  fellow citizens to the South.  You might actually find out you have a lot to learn,  and  you will have a  memorable visit getting to know us, and  not a right wing caricature.  38.8 million people might know something you don't.
