really? i mean really?
ive been seeing all these stories as well..getting out of control..
you know how i feel about it. i spoke to a friend in somalia yesterday. she said that traditionally coastal people were earning a living off the sea. then more developed countries started fishing illegally in their waters. now there is barely any fish left and the area is super polluted. left with no other means of pursuing a livelihood, piracy became an attractive alternative.
go pirates! (although i don't see a good end in it for them) but...Go pirates!
