But doesn't this seem like Wanda brought this upon herself?

Quote:Anchorage has a reputation for being bear tolerant but after three maulings last summer... a chorus of outrage is building.

Wanda Phillips is among them. She recently moved from Washington state — where she saw no bears — to the Anchorage suburb of Eagle River, where there are lots of bears.

Last summer, Phillips saw at least 10 bears near her home. A grizzly camped out in her back yard defending a moose kill. Alaska Department of Fish and Game officials told her to keep the family inside until the bear was finished with the carcass.

"It (that advice) didn't seem very helpful to me," she said. "We have a real safety problem. The fact they are ignoring it is a time bomb."

Hey Wanda, maybe you ought to move back to Wash St.

All she has to do is call Palin. She will take care of the bear problem....:noisycricket:

seriously, I agree with you on this.

I hate it when people move to an area with a known problem, then proceed to complain about the problem.

I agree, but it sorta makes me a hypocrite for moving to California.

It's like moving to Oklahoma and complaining about tornados.

Please don't make me fear moving to California SMN. I hear there is an Sector job opening up in LA and I'm pretty close on the promotion list. Just a rumor right now but if it comes into fruition.

Nothing to fear...except insane traffic, the highest taxes in the country, extreme liberalism, etc. Ask GreyBeard for his opinion, he lives north of LA, I live south. When you get here we'll slam down a few.

Just as long as the boaters give me something to do and that I keep the same night-shift schedule, I'll be happy. Oh yeah, I hear of a lot of banana slugs in cali. uggh. If there are any of them I will need a few drinks.

Yeah, I agree. I hate it when SMN1256 does that(of course, the word "problem" is subjective).

I can't believe there aren't any jobs for janitors in Misssissippi and Alabama.

Well as soon as we Secede from the Union and toss all the Illegals out of the South, then there will be plenty of Janitorial Jobs for you to choose from Robert.

If your I.Q. can be gotten to that basic level that is ....

I compare this to government worship. You know damn well that it fails in almost every aspect of its oversight....and yet you continue to support its failure by allowing your wages to be stolen form you to support it. Gluttons for punishment are we ALL!!

Almost?

Yes...It excels in the use of force to achieve control. That is its one glorious success and the reason it survives.

It's different when you get transferred somewhere because of your job. I'm talking about people who just decide to move somehwere completely on their own, like to the suburbs, then complain about the commute, or move to the country and complain about the lack of nightlife, or move up North and complain about the weather.

You know that bears do it in the woods.

Maybe Yogi Bear "stole" his picnic basket and gave it to the ranger?
