J. Mc: > Is this not the active principle behind most fantasy and science > fiction--not to mention medieval maps with edges marked "Here be > monsters"? I've always only seen it as "Here be dragons." Same concept, but dragons seem more "right on" to me. I've often toyed with the idea of painting "Here be dragons" on the walls of gated communities, but have been too cowardly to do so up to now. If Bush wins this election, maybe that will push me over the brink.
