     Captain William Kidd (1645-1701), was a mighty Scottish pirate. In 
their wisdom, our government is trying to "downgrade" him to a 
privateer/buccaneer.  This is a disgrace. He lived and died as a great 
pirate.

     While having a look in Wiki at his life, I was very disappointed to 
find only 6 famous Scottish pirates, while 66 are listed for England, and 23 
for the Dutch. It looks like the earliest modern-day pirates, i.e. from 800 
a.d. onwards, hale from Kasperland.

     BTW! 13 days to go!
