I am really offended by this ! It is totally insensitive to those who were maimed, and hurt by pirates in our history's past. In fact it glorifies pirates who plundered and pillaged our shores. I'm organizing a crowd burst to protest at every Naval base and pull down any pirate statues standing. ------------- Everything is relative |

Good grief Ian, That was 200 years ago. Get reall! You probably believe that all references to the USS Roberst E. Lee and the Stonewall Jackson should be deleted also. ------------- Every increase in government authority is a decrease of the liberty of each citizen. |

Rumor is the British are offended by the names of several of the original 41 for Freedom. After all those folks ruined a good thing they had going. ------------- Walt, Had I done everything right throughout my life, the World wouldn't have noticed. |

They should be rebuilt and then destroyed in solidarity with something or other. |
