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.


A.A.  Why not just start a revolution to overtake the means of production?  
Then at least if you have to do jail time you can go down in the history books. 
 I doubt that you'll make it into People magazine though unless you can get Act 
Up on your side.  But they're too busy imitating Cher to care.
