I don't believe too much Legal Studies 101 is possible - given the quality of lawyering that is for sale in Alaska. I don't hang at the forum, but generally when there is something big like a swap happening, AKM will mention it in an oyster roundup or somesuch.

Swaps are arranged through the forum. It's a bit like a Secret Santa thing. JHop, my bad – the purple passion swap is an exchange of something purple with another Mudflatter.

I was just reading the new thread that was up and the picture is of the Women protesting last year. I remember there is a link on Immoral Minority for " Women against Sarah Palin". Somebody should try to call them to see if they would like to be part of filing a suit toward shutting down the AFT. Better to have a LOT of names on a Lawsuit rather than just one and they are already organized or were. And as Alaskans they could be the ones to speak up. JHop….
