Alaska: Weird, But Sane

http://www.businessweek.com/ap/2012-08-29/remote-alaska-to-stockpile-food-just-in-case

Alaska has a lot of odd birds in it.  It also has a lot of people with low agreeablity.  But collectively they seem to be probably the sanest state in the US.
The amounts that they're planning to stockpile, IMO, are far too low, but at least they're thinking about the possibility of problems.  Their citizen's dividend is an awfully good idea also---personally I'd prefer to see defense spending cut massively (at least 50%) and most non-defense spending replaced by a citizen's dividend for any non-felon citizens of the US greater than 18 years of age.
