my post was only a half joke.I am not only an ultra conservative but a W.B. cartoon nut :)
I have no idea how old you are but do you remember a W.B. cartoon that was a take off of the Cobbler and the Elves Fairytale, featuring Elmer Fudd as the king of the elves and in this cartoon he taught that business owners reinvest their money in new technology, therefore creating new jobs.
Sounds goofy I'm sure, but that cartoon opened my eyes quite a bit :) Merry Christmas.

I'm 37 years old and I've never seen that one, but I'd like to. When I was in college, me and my fellow engineering students loved football and cartoons. Any distraction from the mind boggling science was welcomed.

There used to be some excellent economic information in books for kids. I remember an Uncle Scrooge comic that taught a terrific lesson about inflation and the monetary supply. Scrooge was vacationing on an island, and opened a bottle. Because the bottle cap was the only one on the island, it became very valuable, with natives offering all their possessions for it. Scrooge has planeloads of bottle caps flown in, and finally they become worthless, because everyone has hundreds of them.
I remember the Elmer Fudd cartoon, too.
On the topic, I believe humans and dinosaurs existed at the same time. I think the photo there is a fake. The archeological sites I’ve seen seldom show a complete skeleton, much less a diorama of action.
