I'm trying to prove a point to someone who thinks highly negatively about Alaska. I say he's just ignorant. What do you think when you think about Alaska? Any and all answers welcome.

Before I moved to Alaska I thought there would be alot of wildlife, pine trees and not so many people.
After moving here I found out, there is alot of drugs and crime and tons of people (Anchorage-Wasilla Area) .
I also found out while there are moose here there are no Deer or Elk. The trees are mainly leaf trees (95%).Last summer, it rained just about every single day and the highs were about 70.
Alot of the people are rude, and customer service is something not to be desired! Prices are too high , and you cant even buy a lottery ticket. I asked a guy yesterday if he missed power ball tickets,,,he didn't even know what they were!
There are some pretty areas here, but you better bring some pepper spray (for the bears, even though I haven seen any) and a handgun for protection from the people.
I hope this helped.

Beautiful glaciers, the Northern lights, trees, mountains, waterfalls, killer whales, eagles, salmon, totem poles and friendly locals. I've been twice and if I could afford it I would go every year.
Has he ever been there? An intelligent person wouldn't knock a place that he's never even seen.
