Political and Economic Situation at the Dawn of Space Piracy, 2077-2080

The defeat of President Burton by President Lee in the aeronaval Battle of Easter Island in the summer of 2077 was the last great clash of surface navies on Earth for over a hundred years. Burton's death decisively ended the Third American Civil War (2076-77), leaving George Custis Lee the President of the United States of America -- legal master

About the only thing I have trouble believing is that piracy would take that long to happen....

Heh, this sounds like a good background to a story... ^o^ More!

Thank you. Incidentally, Yama commented that it was "dry," missing that this was background rather than story.

We long established that he is factually incapable of reading comprehension.

Actually we also long ago established that he is completely incapable of avoiding anything he hates, instead choosing to stalk it and follow it obsessively so he can make incomprihensible pronouncements to the Internet about how much he considers something not worth his time. Or how he considers someone completely worthless. (edited to add: with the exception of himself.)

It's gotten so that anything he mocks and declares worthless is actually pretty darned good, and I wonder if we should thank him for bringing to our attention various good writers and artists.

Setting aside the resident intellectual defective yama, I'm very interested how you'd write your background into an actual story. You write very good essays and commentary so I'm curious and excited to see how you do with stories.
