The classroom cellphone ban is unnecessary window dressing and a distraction from the real issue of the subtle, but systematic degradation of public education. Opinion: Ford’s classroom cellphone ban, good idea – but hypocritical /via @globeandmail https://t.co/Ef8V4kIbRt

It's a beautiful day to go out and vote. #vote #myvotecounts #keepdemocracystrong

[christos aslanidis @caslanidis]

Seriously, if you think your vote doesn't make a difference, think of this. Small voter turnouts mean a weaker democracy, easier manipulation of the populace, and the representation of narrower interests. Keep democracy strong and healthy. #vote #myvotecounts

What does it take? This is a story as old as history. How is it that in this modern world that we call civilized this continues to happen?

What is bravery? What is courage? Dear followers, please share examples of bravery; those of others, or even your own stories. #whatiscourage #whatisbravery #areyouafraidofdragons #indieauthors #ChildrensBooks

[christos aslanidis @caslanidis]

Another reason to follow @dragon_sophia is that, as the hero of my book, Dragon Girl, her quest leads her to greater insights into herself and the notions of perseverance, bravery, justice, mercy friendship and love, which she discusses with her followers. #areyouafraidofdragons

[christos aslanidis @caslanidis]

Yes, @dragon_sophia does occasionally promote my book, Dragon Girl, which she refers to as her story, but it is done so with modesty and grace. And, she is a fun and funny, charming person. So, please follow her. #areyouafraidofdragons

[christos aslanidis @caslanidis]

@dragon_sophia is also the hero of my book, Dragon Girl. Her journey to avenge her father's death has given her insight into the notions of bravery, justice, mercy, love and friendship, which she shares. She would love to hear your thoughts. #areyouafraidofdragons More...
