Anyway, a resurgence in the number of pirates is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY, painful though it might be, to stem the horrific menace of global warming.

Starting in the 1990s and moving through the 2000, you’ll notice that Disney removed ‘corporate raiders’ from the national lexicon and convinced us their competition-eating binge was really about a plucky bunch of Pirates sticking it to the Man! We are not to be fooled!
Besides, I have a real affection and envy for my neighbor’s plucky little oversize-nickle robot that keeps their floors so damn clean.

I can’t believe in the wake of Senator Obama’s historic speech on race, that intelligent people in this nation still engage in the divisive fear mongering against robots, pirates, zombies, and ninjas. Evidently we have still not fully recovered from our forebearers’ original sin of hanging pirates in the town square. Much like the middle class family need not blame the black man on welfare for their ails; they also need not blame the pirates who are constantly robbing them, or the robots who are trying to take their jobs and overtake their nation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men (and robots) are created equal. We will progress past this politics of fear. Frankly, I expected more of manifestdensity.
