"By
issuing shares of dividend earning stock annually and allowing Alaskans
to accumulate them over time, I hoped to eliminate the magnetic
attraction for others from elsewhere who might otherwise be inclined to
flock to Alaska in order to receive dividends. Few would do so for the
mere $50 dividend per share we initially set arbitrarily, but many
might if everyone received a few thousand." |

Note #1. The political cartoon above, featuring the injected apple being offered to innocent Alaskans, is drawn by Randy S. Griffin, who is solely responsible for its content. I appreciate and am grateful for the iconic and historical figures and images that preceded me, which so effectively convey the contrast between good and innocence on the one hand, and dangerous evil on the other. This political cartoon has elements which make it a bit of a parody. RSG |
