I would like to drop in an change the present course...but I think it wouldn't matter. We would always deviate here. It is human nature....I would drop into my later teen years and give me and my father investment advice. ( father didn't really need it) Google etc. My father helped start a larger company but didn't want to leave working for the government (he was a computer analyst) he was already making well into the six figure range then,

Headed back to Phili in Sept of 1787 to tell those 55 men that what you wrote was great but let me tell you how elected tyrants and judges of the future ignore it, shit on it, and manipulate it. We need to reword some and add a bunch.

I’m so incensed at the moral travesty that was slavery that I would go back and end that institution before it even began.

Or go back and cannibalize Karl Marx before he publishes.

Arrive on Jeckyl Island in late October 1910. Kill everyone who arrives over the next two months.

Just for my satisfaction: Pay Stanley Ann Dunham to let me perform an abortion on July 4th, 1961.

BLOCK THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT THAT PERMITTED INCOME TAX (which was originally sold as a "tax only the top 1%" schemen - we see how THAT has turned out.
It has made the Federal government omnipotent over both the people and all the states; the opposite of what was envisioned by our founders.

If Kennedy doesn't get assassinated, he goes down in disgrace for sharing a mistress with mob boss Sam Giancana. The Soviets win the Cold War. I saw a documentary about it.

The Kennedys were elitist scum, just like their bootlegging father.

Killing Stalin or Hitler is noble & might (or might not) save millions (or more likely, some other dictator with a different name would have replaced Stalin or Hitler) but saving any Kennedy is a waste of a chance for goodness & niceness.

Hmmm...I think the surest way to make real change would be to kill Woodrow Wilson back before he was nominated for the presidency. Also, possibly killing Lee Harvey Oswald before he could shoot JFK would change a lot.
But a wildcard would be to kill Julius Caesar before he conquered Gaul. Not sure it would be a huge change because there's always the chance that another Roman general would have come along and done the same thing, but I can't think of a simple way to prevent the Roman conquest of Europe.

I'd bang that girl who wanted to bang me but I was too cool to close the deal.

Everything else, I just realize that even if I changed things, different bad things would happen. I've learned to live with and accept bad things and mistakes I made. They got me where I am now and it's ok.

But I'd still bang that girl that wanted to bang me.
