Even in Treasure Island, the pirates were supposed to be the villains. They were portrayed as such, and they weren't exactly lovable and cuddly. In fact they were vicious, murderous, unsympathetic criminals who turned on their former leader and got their asses whooped. Pirates = cool? If pirates are cool, I'm Thurston Moore. I loved Treasure Island, by the way, a classic adventure story, one of the best, up there with The Count Of Monte Cristo.
