North To Alaska!

In 1960, Johnny Horton hit the charts with this song. An excerpt of the lyrics below:

"'Cos a man needs a woman to love him all the time.

Remember, Sam, a true love is so hard to find.

"I'd build for my Ginnie, a honeymoon home.

Below that old white mountain just a little south-east of Nome.

Where the river is winding,Big nuggets they're finding.

"North to Alaska,

"They're goin' North, the rush is on.

"North to Alaska,

"They're goin' North, the rush is on."

Alaska was admitted into the Union in 1959. And the nation has been better for its admission. What makes Alaska different? Maybe, it's as simple as the people who make that state as great as it is.

But this story, found at Ace's place brought a cheer to my lips. Imagine, a Governor seeking to place the needs of her state's people ahead of the needs of the Federal government! De-centralization, instead of increasing centralization.

Amazing. (And I don't need a passport to travel there!)
