In terms of whether or not our government should help us out with our financial problems I have conflicting opinions. I agree that they should help us out if we get into trouble since we do help fund them through our taxes so it's only fair that they recipricate the favor. On the other hand, if it is a problem that was easily avoidable than they should have the right to say up yours your on your own. An example of an easily avoidable situation is all the people who go around and buy a crap-ton of stuff that they don't need and can't afford, like having 2 houses, 5 cars and only name brand clothes. If people are going to be that stupid they should have to deal with the consequesces themselves. It's not the governments problem that those people can't manage their money.

I do not think that we should bring back the dinosaurs. Just because we can doesn't mean that we should. The movie jurassic park speaks for itself when you think about all the things that could go wrong. The dinosaurs died out for a reason, if they hadn't died out then humans wouldn't have come up. On that note, if we were to bring the dinosaurs back it would just be a struggle between two super-powers, them and us. And I get the feeling from the fact that they were bigger, stronger, and had better physical weapons that that would be a struggle that we would not win.
