Has the NCAA ever approved something like this?

Does AK still do the Permanent Fund Dividend thing?

Sounds like it's working out...

They cut it in half this year, so around $1,000. People love their PFD, and are flipping out about it. But it needed to happen.

My issue is, if we cut the PFD in half, that's a savings of well over $500 million... So why is our FY18 budgets taking huge cuts still?
 
"On calving grounds, caribou were deflected by pipeline berms greater than 1.5m above ground level because berms presumably served as visual barriers (Hanson 1981)" "Cow caribou distribution shifted away from pipelines, roads and associated traffic during calving (Cameron & Whitten 1979; Dau & Cameron 1986; Lawhead 1988; Cameron, Reed et al. 1992) even though vehicular traffic on the study area road was limited (100 200 vehicles/day) (Cameron, Reed et al. 1992)" "Most(77-85%)caribou avoided expenmental pipeline structures on the calving ground in summer (Child 1973)."

You can make the foreign oil argument all you want, but I had a hard time concluding that caribou like pipelines.
Pipeline berms?? Roads??dI suggest that you go to google and type caribou pipeline photos. Do you see berms or roads? Do you see countless caribou? Do you have any idea that caribou migrate over the Brooks mtn range? the mtns are not exactly berms. Are you also dismissive of the importance of energy independence? Think you can run your car on alge?

Yup, pipelines and the things associated with pipelines.
The only road is the haul road. We have helicopters and there are no pipeline berms. We have engineers that are not idiots.

So they can afford to pay Troop?? :rolleyes:

We are almost to the point where we can't afford to pay the ol Troop... I've been lucky, my little department has lost 7 in the last 3 years.
 
Do you differentiate between human beings and ungulates?

I'm commenting on the argument--"We know what's best for our state, all of you outsiders get lost."

Anyone is entitled to comment on the aptness, stupidity, morality, or legality of what another state is doing, whether we're talking about the effects on 2-legged or 4-legged creatures or the environment.
 
You are trying to wiggle out of what you said. Now you are saying that you have the right to comment. Who days that you don't? However, you used your analogy to say that the feds have a right to INTERAVENE. Use used the analogy of Wallace which was an intervention to prevent separate but equal discrimination. The scary part is when a person confuses 'comment' with 'directive', and 'constitutional issues' with 'local issues'. The federals have a right to intervene if appropriate under the constitution. Caribou herds are not under federal jurisdiction. Caribou are not an endangered species. We eat them. You might not like that, but don't go around suggesting that the Feds should intervene. That is precisely what you did by invoking an example of justified federal intervention and comparing it to caribou management. BTW, they do like the pipeline. They hang out around it as everyone up here knows. I suggest a google search of photos of caribou and pipeline.

You are totaling missing--or twisting--my argument. But I doubt any further back-and-forth will change either opinion.
 
Nothing to twist. In effect, you said that the feds have the right to tell Alaskan's how to manage their caribou. (Lester Maddox and the National Guard is a prime example of appropriate federal intervention.) You, and fellow travelers, do not differentiate between comment and directive, nor do you differentiate between federal and state/local matters. I prefer decentralization as does our Constitution. You prefer central command as does the contemporary Democratic Party and its socialist tendencies. Democratic socialism is simply central command and control with mob approval. I call it tyranny of the majority.

Don't appreciate your harangue, especially use of the term "fellow travelers". I have been around long enough to remember when that phrase was on the tongue of every demagogue. You don't want to be part of McCarthyism, do you?

You throw many bricks, and I don't want to spend my time responding to all of them. But as to your point on decentralization--what's your position on HB2 in North Carolina, in which the state government overruled a local (Charlotte) ordinance? I don't know you personally, but many who claim they want to move political power closer to the people really want to move it to whatever level where they have control.

Those studies start with a premise that anything man does in nature is bad, and must be stopped. They they compile biased data and through tortured logic, reach negative conclusions. Result: they get another grant.

You don't want to believe something that is evidence based that doesn't fit with your world view.
