How come there are no ghettos in Alaska? ?

Question

How come Gov Palin doesn't have to call in helicopters to stop gang violence?

How come as a Mayor, Palin didn't have to send in the Natonal guard to protect the police from the street thugs?

How come people work for a living in Alaska and don't sit on their front porches watching the grass grow while they wait for their handout from the government?

How come the people in Alaska don't whine wheres FEMA when the temperature drops 20 below zero?

I guess Alaska doesn't need community organizers do they?

Answer 1

Um have you seen the employement rates for Alaska? One of the worst in the nation!

Hdean: Maybe the unemployment level would be lower if Gov. Palin had hired an american company with american workers to build the $500 million dollar pipeline currently in the works instead of TransCanada.

Answer 2

Because whoever is running it Must be doing a very good Job.Who is The Governor Of Alaska anyways?

Answer 3

There are NO low paying JOBS in Alaska. In fact; 63% of Alaska's work force has a permanent residence somewhere else. With the exception of the indigenous people;most arrive to exploit; not live.

Answer 4

Great points.  Also, Alaska is the CLEANEST state in the Union and its a red state, go figure!

Answer 5

Because white trailor trash don't like cold temps.  

Answer 6

they don't put up with that nonsense

Answer 7

Low percentage of blacks would be my guess

Answer 8

If there's nothing to take care of in Alaska, then how is Palin's experience relevant at all now?

Answer 9

Because there is an abundant supply of ice to build homes out of and plenty of blubber to eat.

Answer 10

TEENER  50   Could the higher unemployment rate be because a lot of these people are construction workers who could be working if the Democrats would allow them to drill for oil

Answer 11

Because Alaska is an area that is still very communal. The people still have values, and work with their neighbors. It's a lovely place. I'd live there if I could handle 6 months of daylight.

Answer 12

Have you ever been to Alaska? I have and the standard of living there is very low. Everything costs twice as much as in the rest of the US. They have very high alcoholism rates and out-of-wedlock birth rate.

It also has a very high violence rate. I was there while in the military and women were told to not leave the base unless they had male escorts. There were areas of Anchorage that we were not allowed to go to.

Answer 13

Alaska does have Gang/Drug problems.     The 3 largest citys have much crime.

When you have 1 person per 9 square miles there is not lots of turf war.

People don't whine when its 20 below because people know that it is going to get that cold.    Cold will not destroy your house or your city,  you  never have to evacuate when its cold.  

No one sits on there pouch when it is 20 below.

Seriously  Every resident  in Alaska gets a Government check at the end of the year, and they don't pay state tax.

Answer 14

They are called reserves and are populated by natives.

To bad you know so little about Alaska.

In spite of being the richest in terms of average income they also receive the highest federal subsidy payments per person too.

Answer 15

you obiously have never been to Alaska, it is one great ghetto, only there they think it is the way the world is supposed to be

Answer 16

No one lives there. They are a totally different demographic than the rest of the country. They don't whine because Stevens got them all the pork they wanted and Palin will do the same. They know what the weather is like and still live there. It's not a disaster to be in the cold. It's too cold for street thugs. The thugs are in the legislature.

Answer 17

very good question...lots of frontier and open land up there..and i don't think the ghetto lovers can handle all the wide open spaces..they require an audience..they like to show how much of a badazz they are..plus they couldn't compare to the wild animals in Alaska..that state is beautiful and still relatively untouched by man..

Answer 18

I guess Joes point is a hardy independent breed live in Alaska that dont need no govment t*t.

Answer 19

I heard you could get free land in some part of Alaska if you could manage to build a house and live in it for a few years.

Alaska is not the norm of our country, so I have no idea why they would need organizers for anything.

Do they even need a governor?

Answer 20

They make ice ghettos and then they melt every year

Answer 21

because the moose heavily outnumber the people.

Answer 22

It's too cold to mess it up outside, all the ghettos are indoors.

Answer 23

Don't spread the word otherwise Alaska will be paradise lost.

Answer 24

Apparently they have community organizers that care or they would have more of the issues you reference. Alaska has a large percentage of its population that still adheres to rugged idealism and personal responsibility, attributes that are sorely lacking in many of our population centers in the lower 48.
