Piracy: I harp on about it again.

You probably think that piracy is still kind of cool, or at least funny, despite my reports on it as a vicious, nasty and sordid crime. I can't say this enough times: if you see a pirate call the cops, or the coastguard. Or if you're on the high seas, like in this article, call the US Navy.

Perhaps, with the co-operation of the most powerful navy the world has ever seen, we can one day end the scourge that is piracy.
