Yes, so right you really are, BranShea. The Norsemen in Greenland didn't trust the Inuits because they were smelly, illiterate, devil worshiping savages, and although the Norsemen might have been a little bit smelly too, they refused to learn the skills and methods of hunting seals and whales from the Inuits.

Then suddenly the Little Ice Age began and soon all the blue-eyed people died of starvation, and the Inuits, being illiterate, had no choice but to keep on hunting seals and whales as they watched their fat wives get fatter and fatter.

Of course that happened 500 years ago, maybe today we can afford to not trust people rather than listen and think about what they have to say.

You think?
