Doesn't it always happen?
After knocking down a little, bitty doe, and your gun being so that you can't fire it, a big four point buck shows up in easy shooting range.
This year the boss cut the size of the turkey we are having for Thanksgiving. "You are getting too fat." Now is that the way to treat the "Lord and Master" even if he is getting a little plump?
VMM questions the fact that I believe a constitution for Alaska should be drawn when and if we get statehood. He refers to the U. S. constitution as not being "obsolete." But if you will study the cost of drawing the state and national constitutions -- only Hawaii and Alaska PAY their men and women for doing this service.
Yes, Vern Metcalfe, we are against the political theory of "Tax and Spend."
And continuing about VVM he is doing a good job - he should change his occupation and make the publishing of a newspaper his profession -- he will find that he has the knack and loves the responsibility of truthful reporting.
