They could care less what the feds tell them about anything; they do as they have done for a 1000 years. The feds have lost much of their power up here, leads to more freedom for all.
Ya know what's scary? I had a 96 year old neighbor, homesteaded his place in 1942. I once ask him how Alaska has changed? He said people nowadays see themselves as Americans; do as they're told. He said before statehood, people were much more independent.
