kallend 2,146 #28 October 10, 2008 QuoteQuoteAlaska, home of Governor Palin and having more natural resource than any other state just what good are natural resources if the democrats won't let you get at them? OK, so you never heard of Prudhoe Bay, the North Slope, the Alaska Pipeline, the mines (nickel, zinc, gold, silver, lead, mercury, platinum and copper), the fisheries, the timber industry, the Permanent Fund Dividend checks mailed annually to each Alaskan.... That figures.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
