Are Presidential Term Limits Prehistoric?


The answer is no. Presidential term limits are always a good idea. It allows for change and new ideas and keeps us from becoming stagnate as a nation.
Do I think we should consider changing the current 2 (4 year) term limit?
Yes or at least put some thought into this question.
Consider this. After a 2 year drawn out campaign listening to the rants of the far left and the far right we finally elect our President to a 4 year term. He or she are in office only two years before this process starts all over again.
I feel like all parties involved don't get any work done and are busy jockeying for position to try and win our votes for the next election. This results in a lack of bi-partisan cooperation and the President is forced to take his/hers party's side.
It is my opinion that our country would best be served by electing our President to a 1 (6 year) term instead of the current 2 (4 year) terms. This allows the President more time to work for the American people without having to worry about getting re-elected.

Tyrannosaurus - means 'terrible reptile'


Tyrannosaurus - When we think of prehistoric monsters this famous theropod dinosaur comes to mind. This creature was a carnivore that lived 75-65 million years ago. It grew to a length of 40 feet and it had a jaw that could be 4 feet long with a gape of 3.3 feet wide. The unlucky animal that was lunch would be held in a vise like grip by many big serrated teeth. When the animal was dead Tyrannosaurus would swallow, not chew, 154 pounds of meat. If that doesn't scare you then think about this. I weigh 164 pounds (remove my head to make me 154 pounds) and that means I could be swallowed in one gulp. But, fortunately for me, Tyrannosaurus did not survive the great extinction event that occurred on this planet 65 million years ago.

Liopleurodon - Meaning 'smooth-sided tooth'

Liopleurodon - At 82 feet (25m) long, this was the biggest marine predator ever. It's for giant flippers flapped with alternate strokes to propell it through the shallow Jurassic seas 160-155 million years ago. This carnivore had a strong long jaw with needle sharp teeth and was capable of killing anything in the sea at that time.
