Modern Dragons

[danceswithwaves]

Dragons today are too big for heroes to slay on their own.  It takes an army.  Armies are bigger and take more time, but if led by a competent captain, they'll find the dragon.  Eventually.  Meanwhile, all the hero can do is stand there waving his arms and dodging fireballs.  The hero has become an elite messenger.  The captain is the one in charge

*Nodding* when I became middle aged, I realized the true heroes are the water carriers.

I interviewed the other day for an entry-level job in a company that works for the EPA, among others. After learning the responsibilities of the job, it hit home *how much* really goes into planning huge enterprises that protect the environment.

This is an excellent essay. I'd like you to be a captain. You understand stuff.
