Any problems that are universal to the country, that we'd might need to discuss and ultimately fix, somehow, maybe, possibly, are then cast in the light of Alaska VS the rest of the country. Healthcare is a huge issue right now, everyone's talking about it. From your perspective, the Alaskan mineral rights should fund the Alaskan state, focusing on the original people. Any solution you come up with simply cannot be applied to the rest of the country. There is simply no point in discussing these things with you unless it is to trigger silly arguments.

I just hate to see them wrapped together. It is like when they add a bunch of riders on a must pass bill. It isn't really dealing with one of the issues, it is being added to the must pass portion. And I doubt most people read them, they just made a deal with their various influence groups to vote for or against. And then the effect snowballs, since everyone is making deals to add their stuff to it. I want them treated separately, that's all.
