I like the sound of Free Alaska. Maybe it could just be Alaska Voice instead of AK Voice, though. Keep it simple.
Somehow you don't have thumbs by your comments either. (I would have rated this down.) :D
Well there is something to be said for the argument that age doesn't matter and that anyone from 18 to 100 could be competent enough to hold office. Part of me really wants to agree with that.
The only problem is that competent people are not always elected, and I think the risk is that, with a candidate younger than a certain age or older than a certain age, it is far more likely that they will be incompetent.
Wikileaks may have caused an uproar, but I'd say it's definitely a force for peace with all its revealed on the conduct of various nations in their ongoing wars and foreign relations. Nobel's will said "to the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses." The "person" part shouldn't be a problem, "fraternity between nations" might be, but I think Wikileaks is definitely working to reduce standing armies.
Thanks for giving us back a lovely place to spend internet time!
