Culture Shock

For the most part, the people inferring vigilante acts are using a little literary license there, and are only exxagerating for effect. Bush Alaska may actually use vigilante justice, but it doesn't usually come to that in the cities.

I'm sorry I thought you were trying to be funny and was playing along using the things of Alaskan nature. Burrying someone in a snowdrift can be just as leathal as hunting or fishing.

On the subject of dubious characture, Alaska used to give those undesireable personages that hadn't quite broken the law enought to really put them away a one way ticket out of the state with a promise to lock them up for a very long time if they ever returned.
There was a nature program on TV a ways back that was talking about the elephants in Africa, and how they were over populated. They culled the older bulls to thin the herd so they could survive. A while after this happened, they noticed the juvinile males were harrasing and hurting the female elephants. They reintroduced an old bull elephant and all the problems stopped! The old bull kept the young ones in line and served as a role model. The same goes for man.

Gosh when did I become an OLD BULL!

Just like everywhere else, drama is ruling this discussion. What does the lack of day light has to do with culture?
