Land owners must be able to to have a trespasser state their business at gun point if necessary. If any physical aggression or assault from the trespasser occurs the land owner or any citizen is in my opinion justified use of force up to and including lethal force. We need some deterance to this type of invasive crime.

Everybody votes with a Chanch Card, my God, have you met any of your local, state, or federal politicians?

This is 100 percent baloney. People used to homestead in Alaska till around 1973. Many of the old-timers in Palmer got their land with the mineral rights to the land. That is why we have gravel mined in the valley. The Alaska natives have mineral rights to their land. The Alaska native veterans can still homestead. But...

I concur with all the comments about taxing oil companies before touching the PFD. Tax oil 35%, then talk to me about giving up one of the few remaining perks of being an Alaska resident.

Hey, no need to get defensive! I've actually canvassed for Sanders. I'm 55, and will probably work until 65 and realize I'm fortunate to do so. I'm not exactly rolling in the dough. Do you honestly think it's fair to tax only the workers?

Yes. The Puritans owned the land communally initially, but it did not prosper. This was because owning something communally means some will not care to work. When the Puritans divide up the land and made families responsible for their land, then they began to prosper.
