I liked this one. Probably one of my favorites.

Alright…I don't personally have anything against Vegetarians (as long as they don't bitch at me while I'm enjoying a steak or hamburger or whatever) but I thought this would be a nice subject to cover.

Just so you know: DRAGONS ARE CARNIVORES. That's not to say they don't eat an occasional veggie (my cat eats plants, for instance) but dragons are carnivores. A sentient race of carnivores are NOT going to understand Vegetarians. (Hell, I don't really understand them and I'm supposed to be an omnivore…) Anyway, about 98% of young dragons had Jonas's reaction when they found out what the word means. It's not something you hear a lot in a society of carnivores. (Dragons are lucky 'cause they don't get scurvy.)

Anyway, as always: if you have a question for our little green mayor Professor Rachel, please leave a comment on my Drunk Duck site or e-mail me at micah.mcnully@gmail.com At this point, you have a GOOD chance of getting your e-mail answered. Maybe not on the Wednesday after you send it, but you will probably get it answered.
