Puff the Magic Dragon was one such song but songwriter Leonard Lipton says that's not true. Can you think of any songs that contain a hidden message?
Anne McCaffrey's Pern stories are superb and anybody who likes fantasy and high adventure would probably enjoy them. But what about YOU? Do you have a favourite Dragon story?

What will you be doing differently then? What changes will we see across the world?

Chris's theory is that they need gold in order to grow but I've heard other ideas. What do you think?

Tell us about your "other place" and post a picture of their flag. Here's the Welsh dragon:

I don't get why.. what makes people lose sight of their ability to read and digest sane arguments and believe instead twaddle that has holes so big... If it were harmless that would be ok.. but it's not.. it fuels hatred.. indeed, even fosters it.. it keeps people in ignorance... it's VERY strange!!I have been looking up the phenomenon... and it's the fact that actual facts are often disregarded in these conspiracy theories.. it's truly as if people have taken leave of their senses and reason... they believe utter twaddle and seem unable to use their brains to be objective and to question.. it's almost like a dogma or indoctrination... What was perhaps most telling was that one or two articles suggested that it was the far right/ or the authoritarians who a... less

If I want to have a conversation, I talk. But it's very popular with young folk. Will it continue to be so?

A kid, well a kid to me, somewhere in his early twenties, asked the girl working there ,"is Jennifer working today? *curious*".The girl turns to him, "No, she's off today. *sorry*"So far so good. Then he said, "Oh, that's too bad,*depressed*". To which she responded with a, "im sorry. "Peace sign*. Yes, they actually said all those words.Later on, I overheard my daughter while on the phone with one of her equally eloquent girlfriends, laughing and saying, "I know right, sad face!"I wondered, Are we learning to communicate more effectively and logically, or are we just getting lazy and losing our ability to use language? less

So I think they were just props so Trump could say he is working hard at making sure there will be no conflict of interest. Cheers and happy weekend!

Whatever he does is okey dokey with them. One day maybe they will realize how crappy what they did is. Maybe not. Who cares?

McConnell was a stickler for following the Office of Ethics Department rules for all Obama appointees. They all complied. Now McConnell is pretending it isn't important. Does he know we watch and listen and remember? Does he think he lives under the radar? Is he really that dumbly obtuse?
