Were dinosaurs on the earth 4000 years ago?

The most important question Matt Damon can ask of Sarah Palin is about dinosaurs? He says that he needs to know her answer to this question because she will have the nuclear codes...


I don't think Matt really understood the question or the reason he asked the question.

While she was governor of Alaska, she worked to get the theory of creation taught side-by-side with the theory of evolution. Don't be fooled by the sarcastic, condescending tone in Matt Damon's voice, he obviously supports Sarah Palin, as I will explain.

When it comes to the nuclear codes and nuclear weapons, it is the privilege of this nation to hold the most destructive weapon in the world at its command. If there was ever a question about the need to use these weapons, we would want that question to be answered by someone with equity and fairness. We would want someone who looked past popular belief or opinion polls and would consider all available views.

The decision to drop two nuclear bombs on Japan was probably the most difficult ever made during WWII. It was a decision that Harry Truman had to live with for the rest of his life. He authorized the deaths of thousands of civilians, innocent people dragged into a war waged by their government in the pursuit of pride and power. President Truman had to balance these people's lives with the lives of thousands of others who might have had to die in order to end the war. Eventually, he made the decision to dissolve the lives of more than 100,000 people. History looks back and judges him both as a hero and a murderer. So be it, but they never had to balance lives as he did.

But what if the question to use the destructive power of a nuclear weapon was presented to a biased and prejudice person? What if that person only saw the world in one way, and considered all other ways to be childish, silly, or simply beneath their stature? Or what if that question came to someone who considered the definition of life to be above their right or ability to determine? The results would be devastating. If they were absolutely opposed to the use, the consequences could be catastrophic; if they were trigger happy and had no value for life, the results could be equally catastrophic. Judge for yourself who should hold the "nuclear codes." And remember nothing in this world ever has just one side.
