Captain William Kidd is not considered to be a good pirate. Many people focus more on his fate, and less of his deeds. I think people are completly wrong. Although he stole and did all these bad actions, does not mean he is a 'bad' pirate. THIS WAS THERE JOB! he was actually one of the GREATEST pirates if you ask me. He got away with a bunch of treasure, and even managed to BURY some... pretty sneaky and pirate like if you ask me. His treasure is said to be buried somewhere in Long Island today. This is why he is so great, still no one can find his treasure.

It is an ugly city, a dirty city. Its climate is a scandal. Its politics are used to frighten children. Its traffic is madness. Its competition is murderous. But there is one thing about it -- once you have lived in New York and it has become your home, no other place is good enough.
