“ In questions of power, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution.” Thomas Jefferson
The founders solution to the problem of too much power being in one mans hands was to set up a series of checks and balances, thus the constitution. Essentially you keep the dragon alive to serve you and be your slave. Obviously this can be benificial to some people.
The difficulty is that dragons are smart enough to tell anything to get you to loose them from the chains, they will tell you what you want to hear, tell you about all the dangerous beasts that they could protect you from if you would just let them go for a little bit. Or you might use the dragon as a weapon, ride on the dragon's back and go destroy the enemies of your tribe.
Once that dragon has got his strength back and is on the loose, you are back to square one and will probably have to put him down.
