I think that America in general is piratical. Every time we accept a paycheck for doing almost nothing, allowing us to live above the poverty line, we're engaging in piracy.
As it turns out, as an adult I can have a very unpleasant, fierce and unforgiving temper at times. But I don't think I had that when I was a kid.
I don't think that word - the word pirate - has any real meaning. Or it's something that's had meaning imposed on it.
I don't like the idea of being surrounded by hidden things; people you can't see in buildings and cars.
I need to go someplace faraway that doesn't have telephones and doesn't have a record player and doesn't have movie theaters and people walking down the street in order to not do anything.
It is more rewarding to be complicit with scarcity than excess.
