I say, leave them alone.

It won't help the 'rats, so give it up.

“Fletcher Christian led the Bounty back to “Otaheite” where they once again enjoyed laid back island life (and women) until fear of discovery drove them to find a new home where they’d never be discovered by the British law. “

And where they murdered each other...

I get the monthly newspaper from Pitcairn by e-mail.

They’re a really interesting combination of modern and primative. No airport, one Doctor, one cop, no harbor (everything comes in by freighter, then is transferred to the pictured longboats), only part time electricity, etc. Yet they have DVD’s, ATV’s, and tradition of community work that’s really remarkable. On work day, everybody goes out and does something useful.

Quite a place.

Pitcairn Ping. Only a few very rare persons ever make it to that part of the world.
