So it's talk like a Pirate day. Which on FB is a bit of Harmless fun....And for the record I side with Pirates in the Pirates v Ninjas argument. Black may be slimming but Ninjas are all about the killing ability, in fact everyone who supports Ninjas are only waiting till Botchulism can grow legs. And yes this is someone who practiced Martial Arts for 15 years.
So from that Hakim Bey's Book, TAZ.
"Barbados and Jamacia must have been settled by many extremists, and I beleive the Levellerish and Ranterish influences contributed to the Buccaneer "Utopia" on Tortuga. Here for the first time thanks to Esquemelin, we can study a sucessful New Wold proto TAZ in some depth. Fleeing from hideous "Benefits" of Imperialism such as slavery, serfdom, rascism and intolerance, from the tourtures of impressionment and the living death of the plantations, the Buccaneers adopted Indian ways, intermarried with Caribs, accepted blacks and Spaniards as eaquals, rejeted all nationality, elected their captains demoraticaly and reverte to the "state of nature" having declared themselves "at war with the world," they sailed forth to plunder under mutual contracts knoen as "Articles" which were so egalitarian that every member recived a full share and the Captain usually only 1 1/4 or 1 1/2 shares. Flogging and punishments were forbidden-quarrels were settled under the code duello."
