Between The Lines

Good Morning Johnson's Shipping Company. I, Captain Wesley, leader of our crew, demand 25 million dollars for the safe return of our ship and its crew members. I will need the money by the end of this week, or your ship, and its crew members, will be sunk to the bottom of the ocean.

Sincerely,
Captain Wesley

Just Talk About It

Ever since Somalia's government couldn't provide food and shelter, piracy has spread to many waters. I feel that the reason for this is because Somalia lacks a strong government, and also because no one has done anything to stop it.
