I don't think I'd call Sue's posting a "rant". It's very common knowledge for people that have lived in Alaska for a long period of time. (I've been here 50+ years.) It's often interesting to watch new people move up here. They usually either really love the place and want to stay a long time, or they can't stand it and can't wait to move out. Whereas stateside, it seems that a lot of people just live where they live and neither really like or dis-like it.
This especially gets interesting with couples when one can't stand it and wants to leave vs. the other one who loves the place and wants to stay. There's been more than one couple split up over it.

I'm one of those, Bill. My ex-wife told me 15 years ago that I had a choice - her or the Yukon. She now lives in Australia, I'm still in the Yukon. Yup, you either love it or you hate it - luckily, most people hate it so it will never get crowded.
