Dear katie,A long time ago people moved out onto the Islands of the Philipines,Southeast Asia and the great Pacific.They did this in open ships,navigating by currents,changes in water temperature,and the stars.they possessed little or no metallurgy,no matches,no cell phones.Then our great western culture "discovered" these lands and the exploitation began.Notice how these "survivor" shows never mention whos home is being used.It isn't Gilligan!I think if you learned about these people and the way they not only survived,but florished;youd have a different perspective.<br><br>
