Re:Difference between Alaska and Florida? (Score 2)

Aside from the temperature...

Apparently in Alaska you can pull a prank and it doesn't get turned into a life-altering jail sentence and you being labeled a terrorist. Alaska may be the last refuge of what being in the United States really used to be all about. Too bad the terrorists won in the lower 48.

Alaskan resident here. If you're looking for a region where terrorists haven't won, I'm sorry to say that Alaska isn't for you. Ketchican has just over 8,000 people, making it pretty rural. In more populated areas of the state (Mat-Su valley, Anchorage), it's not that way at all. I once gained access to the password protected wireless for my school in the Mat-Su Valley with no malicious intents, and was almost expelled from the district because of it. To make things worse, Alaska is one of the only areas of the United States where people will openly wear confederate flags on their shirts, cars/trucks, and houses. Keep that in mind in case you consider moving here.
