Scallops lived before the dinosaurs.
Explanation:
In this image of rock layers and fossil records, we can see fossils of two different organisms, one being a dinosaur (predatory by the looks of it) and the other being of scallops. The scallops are found only in one rock layer, and the same is the case with the dinosaur fossil.
This suggests that both the scallops and the dinosaurs lived only during those periods, not before them and not after them. Since the scallops are found at the bottom rock layer, and the dinosaurs in the rock layer above them, with both rock layers being undisturbed, it means that the scallops lived before the dinosaurs. It also means that the scallops didn't existed alongside the dinosaurs, but instead the dinosaurs occurred when the scallops were already extinct.
Post war Europe was reeling in from the destruction of not just their people but their lands and cities which took years to recover.
Explanation:
The war was fought extensively on the European soil and led to the degradation of the land to the point that it was difficult to get it back to what it used to be before the war.
It was not an issue for the Americans as the war never quite reached their own shores in the sense that none of it was on the mainland. This means that no common Americans died in the war directly.
It also meant that the infrastructure and social structure of US was largely intact which was not the case with Europe after the war.
Might makes right<span> is an aphorism with several potential meanings (in order of increasing complexity): In English, the phrase is most often used in negative assessments of expressions of power.
</span>Might Is Right, or The Survival of the Fittest, is a book by pseudonymous author Ragnar Redbeard<span>. First published in 1890, it heavily advocates amorality, consequentialism and psychological hedonism.</span>
The problem starts already earlier:wildlife experts can only estimate the number of species in the world generally!
This is the case because there are simply too many species, and it takes time to documents them; because some areas (ocean bottom for example) are very hard to access and because sometimes it's hard to know whether we're talking about a new species or a variation within the same species.
so if we even don't know how many species there are, it's even harder to know how many are endangered.
Federal Government > State Government
The rationale for this is that we live in a global world and need collective responses to global challenges. Instead of there being a Utah response and a Virginia response to the need for more STEM graduates, there should be a US response. Economies of scale also come into play. It can cost less and be more efficient to have resources centralized.
State Government > Federal Government
America was founded after a revolution rejected a strong central monarchy and America needs to continue to honor that by allowing citizens in Utah to have different approaches than Virginia. When convenient, the states can choose to collectively band together on issues like defense but that should be the exception and not the rule.
