"People did try and even though there was ice in the area the Captian was ordered by the Chair man of the White Star Line to go faster and later that night the ship hit an iceburg and sank of the 2,223 people on board only 706 survived the ship didn't have enough lifeboats for everyone on board it only had enough for half of the people on board and most of them were lowered half full,' frank said. "The disaster brought new changes in the safety of ships which included that ship must have enough lifeboats for everyone onboard,' frank said

"That is horrible, it certainly is." Diver said, the shock and sadness obvious in her voice.

"Yea, it is." Chomper said also sad at the story.

"Sounds like some suffered due to greed." Mim said, shaking her head sadly.

"It somewhat was cause of greed it was one of the most tragic disaster in human history It was mostly third class passengers and crew that died,' frank said.

"Third class? Are they a different type of humans like we have flyers and swimmers?" Kit asked the humans, "what makes them third class and are there other...classes?".

"It...no" Peter answered her, "the only thing that makes the distinction there is now much money, or green stuff that's not food, they get for their jobs, and then some of the first class people's grandparents and such made so much that the first class of that time didn't have to work and just had the green stuff which they thought made them better than the people who didn't have as much". He smiled, "good thing you dinosaurs don't have that, you probably all threat eachother the same and we could learn alot from you huh?" the teen asked.

Cory frowned, "Not really...there's still alot of threehorns who think swimmers and flyers aren't as good as them and other kinds think the same about others, it's not just threehorns, I just...said that one" he shrugged.

Peter frowned and nodded, "Yeah, we humans know about that one too"

"Yeah when I first arrived in america in 1926 after moving from Germany we didn't have a lot of money it wasn't until I join the military that when my family got more money from my paychecks before that they only money we got was from my paper route which wasn't much but it was enough,' frank said.

Longtail frowned.
"Things like that shouldn't happen. Greed makes everyone look bad...even when it's done for something good, something bad is always bound to happen."

Grandpa Longneck nodded.
"You have a very good point Longtail. But sometimes greed can be used to see who you can and cannot trust as well."

Cyrix sighed. "Well despite the speciesism we dinosaurs do tend to get along as best we can where ever we gather."

"Greed is not good, no, no, no." Ducky said, shaking her head and her tone of voice showing she did not agree.

Littlefoot nods, "Cera's dad doesn't like non threehorns much, but he'd not let any get hurt by a mean sharptooth or anything like that." Littlefoot said.

"Yep, that he does" Tylr added with a smile, "I'll still never forget the time he saved Mr. Clutail on our way to the Great Valley and for the whole rest of the trip tried to convince him he didn't. It went from 'thankyou' to 'I'm not a liar!'".

"Well of course my dad looks out for others" Cera said, "he's the leader too along with Littlefoot's grandparents" she nodded to Grandma and Grandpa Longneck, "It's what he's suppose to do".

"Well things have improved since then but there are still some countries that opress their citizens,' frank said.

Kit12 · **Reply #589 on:** May 16, 2009, 08:44:10 PM

"O-press?" Kit asked, "what's that? and if you don't mind Mr. Frank, what's a...country?".

f-22 "raptor" ace · **Reply #590 on:** May 16, 2009, 09:32:47 PM

"A country is like a big valley with a very big population and opress is when a ruler takes the right of his or her citizens away,' frank said.

Kor · **Reply #591 on:** May 16, 2009, 10:26:25 PM

"Hmm, interesting." Mim said, as she learned the new words.

"O-press sounds bad. Like a very bad leader." Diver said nodding.

"'it is really bad and it's not the best form of government,' frank said.

f-22 "raptor" ace · **Reply #593 on:** May 19, 2009, 11:02:16 PM

"Democracy is usually the best government,' frank said.

Kor · **Reply #594 on:** May 20, 2009, 01:32:23 AM

"What is Demo...kraky?" Ducky asked, not having heard that word before.

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #595 on:** May 20, 2009, 02:34:34 AM

Hammond answered.
"A Democracy is where everyone in any one place like a nation, or your case a herd comes together and gives their thoughts on who they feel is the best to lead."

Longtail smiled, "Oh I get it now...well that does sound like the best kind of gov...or...ment to me!"

Grandpa Longneck nodded "Yes, that does sound quiet a lot like what we do in the valley when ideas or issues arise."

Kor · **Reply #596 on:** May 20, 2009, 04:18:26 AM

"That does sound best, though I would assume the one who is able to sway the most due to the way they speak, their looks, force of personality may end up with a larger say then they should." Mim said, thinking over what had been said about what Democracy was.

Kit12 · **Reply #597 on:** May 20, 2009, 10:31:30 AM

"Yeah" Tylr sighed, "of course charm can talk people into bad ideas, but still sounds like you humans have a herd alot like the way ours works".

"and in your herd I'm sure you let kids have a say too, don't ya!" Cory grinned.

Peter laughed, "Not really, you can't vote on leaders or anything until your eighteen, which is like the end of adolescent, so when your an adult".

Cera frowned, "Figures".

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #598 on:** May 20, 2009, 05:21:05 PM

Longtail just smiled.
"Oh please Cera, like you really didn't see that answer coming. I thought you were smarter than that."

Cyrix sighed as he stepped inbetween Cera and Longtail.
"Now, now, don't start arguing again you two." he said with caution.

Kor · **Reply #599 on:** May 20, 2009, 09:11:45 PM

"Yes," Mim said agreeing with Cyrix. "Yes, I do believe we have more then enough problems so we don't need to add to them." She said.
