Alexander the Great: "How dare he # the sea", pirate: "How dare you molest the whole world. Because I do it with a little ship only, I am called a #; you, doing it with a great navy, are called an #", !Chomsky in 'Pirates and emperors, old and new: international terrorism in the real world' 'proposing that what governments coin as # in the small simply reflects what governments utilize as # in the large. Yet, governments coerce their populations to denounce the former while embracing the latter.' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirates_and_Emperors cc @question
