1:几年前，芝加哥大学古生物学家保罗?赛伦诺博士提出鳄鱼过去的角色（或者从严格意义上讲是鳄鱼目动物，因为它们形状大小各异，并非所有都类似现代鳄鱼）被低估了，在今天的北非，他发现了一个一亿年前（白垩纪中期）由鳄鱼占主导地位的生态系统。2:除了与现代鳄鱼同为水生巨兽外（但远比现代的大），他还发现了一系列包括食草的、用长腿行走的——比起鳄鱼来更像狗的种群及形态。3:这一发现促使其他化石探寻者着眼于其它地方。4:结果是，即便是那些出自北美的已经研究得很透彻的化石也显示出恐龙并非占据中生代生态系统全部位置。5:——正如衣阿华大学的斯蒂芬妮?庄姆海勒以及位于奥斯汀的德克萨斯大学的克林特?博依德在会上说的那样。

Two dangers await the campers. One is capture by outsiders, either opportunistic or batty, who wish to revive Trotskyism or bash America. Such causes may draw more support from enthusiasts, but for the mainstream that merely worries about reckless banks and a sagging economy, they make the protests look tired and familiar, not new and fresh.

抗议者们面对两大危险。第一个被外部人所利用，这些人不是机会主义者就是笨头笨脑。他们希望复兴托洛茨基主义（主张通过革命在全球实现社会主义）或打垮美国。这些理由或许能从热烈支持者那里得到更多的支持。但是对于那些担心鲁莽的银行及衰退的经济的主流群体而言，这些人让这些抗议活动看起来俗套无味，没有新鲜感。
