American yacht owners Jean and Scott Adam, and Phyllis Macay and Bob Riggle were found shot to death onboard SV Quest, a sailing yacht they used to distribute bibles. Four pirates are also dead, two of whom were killed by U.S. forces.

According to reports by CNN News on Tuesday, February 22, 2011, "Four American hostages on board a yacht hijacked by pirates last week were killed by their captors Tuesday, U.S. Central Command said in a statement. The vessel, named the Quest, was being shadowed by the military after being captured by pirates off the coast of Oman on Friday. Officials had said earlier Tuesday it was less than two days from the Somali coast." ( Read Jean and Scott Adam more... )

Scott Stolnitz, a friend of the California couple killed by pirates early today along with two other Americans off the coast of Oman, said the Adams knew the risks of sailing in the pirate-infested waters.

Interviewed Adam Scott several years ago for PC Laptop Magazine for a story about how he used the GPS on his yacht. I also helped John Adam learn to use computers.

Scott and Jean were inspiring because they had a mission. They shared their blessings and love wherever they went. ( Read Jean and Scott Adam more... )

Jean and Scott Adam: Yes Kids, Pirates Are Real: Should We Encourage Our Kids To Celebrate Criminals?

Kids? They love pirates. Captain Hook, Jack Sparrow, or pretty much anyone wearing an eye patch, a pirate hat and/or flying the Jolly Rodger is intriguing for the under ten-set.

The pirate themed party is a birthday staple and shirts with skulls and crossbones are all the rage. But should we be okay with our children idolizing pirates?
