A Vile & Ancient Tradition

The golden age of piracy may be over, but the practice is far from ended—and now as then, any element of romance to it is purely the stuff of lurid fantasies. Violent maritime theft continues to blight the more remote waterways of the world, costing lives as well as profits. Most recently, pirates have captured a vast crude oil tanker bound for {0}, and demand an eyewatering ransom if we are to have our precious resources returned. We could take action against the pirates rather than meet their demands, or we could decree that this is the oil industry's mess to sort out.

Choices :
Pay

The cost of the ransom is as nothing to the crisis even a brief petroleum shortage would incite. The people will be thankful.
