I thought it was fairly well-balanced. They did point out that the Canadian town was where they chose to spend the night.

The personality types they talk about are real. There are people who see the first solution to a problem at the end of their own arms, and people who say "there ought to be a law." Most people are a mix of both. Government, naturally, encourages the latter response. The first function of an elected government is to convince the electorate that the government is the only thing standing between them and a horrible end.

The real beauty of this setup in Alaska is that people have a choice. Live where you like.

As long as the choice is there, I'm happy.

How long before the bureaucrats descend on Hyder and force them to come up to "standards?"
