Fairy tales do not tell children the dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children the dragons can be killed.
That was the final line spoken by Agent Hotchner in a rerun on A&E of an episode of "Criminal Minds." What, might you ask, could it possibly have to do with the race for Attorney General in the Commonwealth of Virginia?
The Democratic candidate Steve Shannon is someone I first met through his wife, Abby, whom I met because she was the LA who handled education for my friend Rep. Nick Lampson of Texas. And Steve and Abby were concerned with dragons, the dragons who abducted little children, which is why they were responsible for founding the first Amber Alert in the DC metro area.
And Steve was a prosecutor, someone who handled crimes committed by sexual predators.
And whether or not dragons exist, monsters do. Sometimes they run for political office. I believe if one looks at the public record of Steve's opponent, State Senator Ken Cuccinelli, one will see someone whose record in public office and his declared intentions have monstrous implications. Which is why this race is so important.
