I remember seeing a speech where this fellow asked all of the attendees to imagine something. It went something like this:
Imagine that you are on a big, beautiful cruise ship on a vacation in the middle of the ocean. Suddenly, a small, but well armed contingent of pirates assaults the ship and takes control.

Here's my problem. I am not a naturally suspicious person. I like to believe that people are basically good when it comes down to it.
