Assume that once upon a time there WAS a tiny little island reserved for traditional folk. Certain possibilities spring to mind-- just fun images to play with:

Scenario 1: The tourists arrived. Soon the island was too crowded for the trad folk-- who, unable to evolve fast enough, were pushed off into the sea and were drowned.

Scenario 2: Having become inbred in their exclusivity, the trad folk all died off (after constructing their own monument). The last years of their existence were particularly perverted, as they became like the savages they supplanted.

Scenario 3: The Law tries to capture representative specimens annually at the Getaway for genetic testing to assure an abundant supply of replacement trad folk can be abducted and taken to said island.

Scenario 5: Each year the island's trad folk take a vacation, together, at the FSGW, but (probably shocked by the goings-on) they retreat to their island habitat as soon as they possibly can, from which they can communicate only by internet.

Scenario 6: The missionaries arrived. The inhabitants tried to teach them the missionary position, but in so doing they exposed themselves to virulent fevers, and died soon thereafter.

Scenario 7: The missionaries arrived and began proselytizing, but the trad folk converted them, instead, digitally.

Secenario 8: The trad folk split into two warring camps, the "what is folk" camp and the "we know what is folk" camp. Causlaties were about equal as the males of the species killed off one another in a particularly violent pissing contest.

(Bill, I'm hoping for #7, but history, human nature, and the medium are agin it.)
