Those Poor Savages -- Or Not

Once in awhile you hear about those tiny isolated tribes living on islands in the Indian Ocean, diligently preserving their isolation from the outside world. And good for them.

Now we learn that they, alone of all the nations affected by the Boxing Day tsunami, may have nboticed that something was up and taken effective action to protect themselves.

So now we have a whole new reason for wanting to make contact with them: because they know something we need to learn.

By golly.
