Hey, stop bashing the CA DMV! Actually, I have never been able to figure this out. Is there a federal law that DMVs have to be the worst places in the world? Are any of them any good?

If you typical DMV were a business, it wouldn't last a month. I would love to have McDonalds or Wal-Mart or someone (who wants happy customers and a profit) run those things.

"I think the first thing I'd like to do is travel back in time and introduce antibiotics or warn of planned violent attacks on Americans."

Read a lot of "alternative history" stories in my time.

Go back to, say, the Civil War and introduce antibiotics to save all those who died of their wounds . . . . the sooner anti-biotic resistant bacteria evolve --- at a time when science was not sufficiently advanced elsewhere to cope.

Or a pyschopath lives and does whatever.

Or the South Wins, and the North joins Germany in WWI . . . etc.

Or you warn of 9/11 and, as a result, we don't have the national fortitude to invade Afganistan/Iraq --- OBL and Saddam get an atomic bomb and nuke NYC, instead.

Etc.

Big believer that God uses that bad in the world for ultimate good.

(Of course, He could be allowing time travel, which . . . )

What ya'll may not realize is that your machine speeds up as time goes on, so that when you're my age it's going about 2X.

Since when is cheap malt liquor considered a "mood?"

Or let JFK get killed to stop a nuclear war.

Or let 9/11 happen so America wakes up to the evil that is Islam.

We don't even know what happened that fateful day in Dallas over 40 years ago...

Yeah we do. Within 20 minutes of JFK's death, a number of people began figuring out how they could make a buck off the assassination. They've been pushing (mostly contradictory) conspiracy theories ever since, until "there was a conspiracy" has become conventional wisdom, and we couldn't recognize the truth if it smacked us upside the head.

Well there's a secret DMV office in the Capitol in Sacramento meant for legislators to call with those really difficult constituent problems. They also take care of DMV stuff for the elected officials and staff. There's never any wait there if you know how to get in ;-)

Nikola Tesla struggled for funding all his life! We'd be even better off if he'd gotten a lot more. The tough thing can be separating the wheat from the chaff!

Not to mention that a massless photon is not going to effect the space around it and it exists without time.

I completely agree, and have tried to point this very problem out to friends with no luck at all!

>>Me, I'd shoot Hitler as a kid, knock on Hillary's parents' door on that crucial conception night, warn President Lincoln's guards before he went to Ford's Theater--the possibilities are endless.

Yah, problem there is that Lincoln's Pinkerton guards sort of wandered off in search of a pee trough right when "Gimp" Booth happened to be slinking about. Some say Secretary of War "Demerit" Staunton couldn't cope with Lincoln's proposed revenge and punishment free rebuilding of the South program. But then Lincoln was really smart and really smart people have a tough time on this planet anyhow.
