Metaphor for the Modern World: Special Courts vs. Dead Pirates

A shipping industry executive whose family has been in the shipping business for genreations understands the historical reality and offers the unvarnished truth on how to cure the $7-$12 billion plague of piracy: "sink their vessels and their pirates with man and mouse" and "kill them on the spot." Good to see at least someone who isn't infected with modern, ahistorical fantasties about how to deal with ancient problems of human nature, like yours truly. Of course, his company immediately trotted out the classic politically correct corporate responsibility bullshit in the name of PR damage control to keep the bien pensant hordes at bay. Contrast Mr. Stolt-Nielsen's response with the modern response of the political establishment...more courts. That sound you don't hear is hundreds of young, illiterate Somali men, who make a nice living hijacking $300 million assets using $300 fiberglass skiffs, quaking in their boots.
