Alaska is beautiful but most the crime is done by white folk, most is booze related and a shit load of wife beating. There is alot of unhinged morons in Anchorage but it is weather related, which cause mood swings and it is expensive there.

The general public have good intentions towards Indigenous Aussies but many myths flow..such as the $millions spent "on them" but which really doesn't actually reach the many remote under-privileged communities but is consumed by salaries for public servants.
