It’s worse than that. According to the he NY times piece, this idiot Bible thumper attempted to land on the island several different days even as they shot arrows at him each time. It said he tried to bring soccer balls, fishing wire, and scissors as gifts.

So he literally had arrows flying past his head at first sight, yet refused to accept this clear sign to leave.

yeah and the gov't of India informs tourists that the island is off limits and that the tribe will use lethal force to repel unwanted visitors. If you're in a foriegn coontry, obey thier laws. If thier gov't says "tourists aren't allowed in this area"...don't go into that area.

If he already reproduced, his genes are out there, and Darwin's theory of natural selection doesn't apply. Because evolution is taught so poorly, if at all, in this country, a lot of people don't understand that it's not about "survival of the fittest." There is no evolutionary component to merely living a long time if you don't pass your genes onto the next generation.
