Who would want more things when instead, you can have more fun?

I may not know your astrological Sun Sign, but now I know you’re certainly not a Capricorn!

It's become one of our most popular articles (though I suspect that might have more to do with people pirating our bandwidth for that picture of Johnny Depp). It made the case that the pirates' lasting, romantic allure lay in the fact that they represented a kind of primitivism, or as Captain Bartholomew "Black Bart" Roberts put it, "In an honest Service, there is thin Commons, low Wages, and hard Labour; in this, Plenty and Satiety, Pleasure and Ease, Liberty and Power; and who would not ballance Creditor on this Side, when all the Hazard that is run for it, at worst, is only a sower Look or two at choaking. No, a merry Life and a short one shall be my Motto." Fleeing from hideous "benefits" of Imperialism such as slavery, serfdom, racism and intolerance, from the tortures of impressment and the living death of the plantations, the Buccaneers adopted Indian ways, intermarried with Caribs, accepted blacks and Spaniards as equals, rejected all nationality, elected their captains democratically, and reverted to the "state of Nature." Having declared themselves "at war with all the world," they sailed forth to plunder under mutual contracts called "Articles" which were so egalitarian that every member received a full share and the Captain usually only 1 1/4 or 1 1/2 shares. Flogging and punishments were forbidden—quarrels were settled by vote or by the code duello.1 [...] […] Nearly a year ago, we published “A Pirate’s Life for Me.” It’s become one of our most popular articles (though I suspect that might have more to do with people pirating our bandwidth for that picture of Johnny Depp).

It remains one of the most popular articles we've ever written, drawing in people looking for pictures of Captain Jack Sparrow, and giving them the promise that the pirates' life is not as distant or unachievable as they might have imagined after all.

I have spent a lot of time with earth cultures and grew up on small family farms and agree that pirates were in many respects about returning to a more natural state of existence. Certainly this insane demand for more stuff and less humanity can not continue without terrible consequences.

Piracy was a natural progression for the privateers [2] and buccaneers who had lost their sanctioned prey, and faced little resistance due to a lack of strong government in the majority of the American Colonies. Meanwhile captured naval seamen and slaves often willingly joined with pirates, or fled brutal treatment for the egalitarianism of piracy. This motley crew of motives were united in pirate democracy, laid down in a pirate code, preparing the way for democracy in the United States. But as the popularity of pirate life and pirate utopias grew strong, they became a pest to be mercilessly crushed by colonial opposition and the British navy.
