If you had a time machine...

When would you go and what would you do? Me, I would like to go back to 5 million BCE, I would take a video camera and a stopwatch, I want to see the Mediterrean form. That was when a large Rock wall between the Atlantic and the Mediterrean basin collapsed and the Atlantic flooded in, that would be cool. I love ancient history, also I would go to Babylon in Hammurabi's reign and make a few suggestions for the first written law in the world. No more "Eye for an Eye" there, no way.

1. I would go back to WWI and

make sure a certain German Corporal named Shucklegruber (AKA: Hitler) did not survive.

And since it is in the same time frame I would take side trip to Georgian province of Russia and off a certain creep named Stalin.

2. Why stop there, bud?

3. Very well I will make two more stops

one to early September 1991 where I would arrange for the FBI to figure out and stop the Airplane attacks of 11 Sept.

I would also step back to Nov 04 and ensure a Kerry victory.

5. What if an event related to Hitler caused you to be born? Better yet,

Nixing Hitler nixes you and who knows how many other people?

Better yet, not having Hitler would leave a void for somebody else to fill at some point. OTOH, Bush doesn't seem to remember what had happened...

History is history. We need to learn from it so we don't repeat it. Not pretend or make it so that it doesn't exist.

IMHO, of course.

4. I'd go back 6,000 years and see the Earth created.

It would be cool to see the stars, and everything in the Universe
created.

Don't laugh...I actually had a conservative idiot say this once when we were watching "The Time Machine" ..Movie.
