"Just say no: That's the message Alaska Libertarians are sending about an initiative to curb dividend earnings. ... On September 14, Alaskans will vote on a politician-backed initiative to 'raid the Permanent Fund.'

Every Man's Land: Who really owns ANWR?, by Kerry Howley, reasononline, 21 Nov 2005
"ANWR itself, if only a symbol, is ... indicative of an irresolvable tension over publicly held land, uselessly locked away and yet uniquely vulnerable to special interests. ... an ANWR owned by everybody is just a question mark waiting for the next administration that needs to prove it's serious about something."
