Thras, “Abandonment is the worst thing. When no one will help, when the people who are supposed to help refuse to.”

Neglect is the most vile of sins committed against the victim. Because it means that the perpetrator does not even care enough about the victim to show hatred.

I suggest we use “Chicago style politics” to deal with the pirates. They hurt one of ours and we kill ten of theirs. They kill one of ours and we kill 10000 of theirs. Sounds fair to me. But, it does go against the biblical norm of an eye for an eye.

How about we just lob a missile into the harbor where these misunderstood entrepreneurs hang out. Make it one big enough to remove all of the water from the harbor temporarily. Then when the water comes rushing back in it will cleanse the beaches of parts and such. Leave a nice clean starting point for more reasonable folks to take up house keeping.
