Actully it's only about 750,000 people. Yes, I live in Alaska.

Say what you want, but the effects on a nuclear attack on Alaska would be very, very devastating. The Alaska Pipeline - Barrow - Valdez, ANWR, need I say more? If you know what ANY of those places are, you know exactly what I'm talking about. If it was as simple as mutating a few polar bears, the goverment woulden't feel the need for armed guards in Valdez during high-risk terrorism times.
It's quite a major threat. So much that the US Goverment felt the need to spend an astonishing amount of money on an anti-missle site in Ft. Greely, Alaska, that has started construction as of this summer.
You should understand exactly what somthing like that could mean to this country. Before you spout off at the mouth about mutating a few Polar Bears, do a little research. You probably think AK is Arkansas and we live in igloos.
