There’ll be no Slaying Here
The time has come. We can no longer stand silently by. We must hold those guilty responsible. There are far too few dragons left and their numbers are dwindling daily. I must first lay blame at the feet of the minstrels, who sang of the great deeds of the Knights who did murder these innocent creatures in order to rescue yon fair maiden, who if truth be told was in no danger it all. Dragons do not harm maidens or princesses that’s simply rude, and the noble creatures simply are not so ill mannered. Second, I hold to task the lazy writers, who look to tell tales of adventure and woe and make victim dragons yet again as beast that destroy villages and terrorize kingdoms, rending castles to the earth. I personally have never seen a dragon so flagrantly destroy so much with nary a reason, its absurd. The tales of Dragon’s hoarding riches and stealing gold and jewels to rest upon in their mountain caves is far from just. Did anyone ever take a moment to consider that these poor souls are simply reclaiming the gold and stones that were so viciously stolen from them when mankind chose to mine their homes? I dare say not. We really should all be ashamed that anything has to be said at all, the very thought that anyone should wish harm on such noble creatures should have been long ago banished.

Ignorant People Say Things
Ignorant people say things, people say ignorant things, and ignorance, it would seem, makes experts of us all. One of the greatest lessons my mother ever taught me, with a great deal of persistence and grief, was “not everything that pops into your head needs to pop out of your mouth.” Words matter, how they are said, who they are said to, all matter, and nothing brought home that point more than being blessed with my youngest son, as an autism mom I have heard them all. All too often people find themselves hearing their own words before the realize they have actually said them, often wishing they had tasted them before they said them.
