As already pointed out , think it was Truman that offered 100 million to buy Greenland in 1948 . And I think there were USA Gov discussions to buy It in the early mid 1800s . Anyway , Its cool by me . I hear that its the biggest island in the world or is it a Continent and is inhabited by some 60,000 or a little less population of nice looking , smart and well educated people . Just the chance of mixing up well selected Good American Genes with obviously good Greenlandish Genes is a Fine idea . Plus , they got Moose for hunting , good fishing and volcano supplied heating and Glaciers for good drinking water . ------------------ better than 'hawaii' I reckon !!
