What good is time travel if you can’t do stuff like go back in time and kill Hitler, or prevent Jimmy Carter from getting elected? I guess the future lucks out, but not us.

Or finally score with that certain girl from high school. Your aims may be a little loftier than mine, of course. ;)

There is a school of thought, which I read the explanations for, and they made sense in their own way but it's been too long for me to recreate the arguemnts, anyway, IF you had the energy and means to send something back in time, IF that was the case, you couldn't go further back than the time in which the machine was first assembled. I dunno, made sense at the time....

Geeze. We prevent the German A-bomb, kill the Ayotolla, give you the Internet and elected Bush before 9/11 and you people still aren't happy. Just forget about that Iranian project. We're going home now. Enjoy President Hillary, losers. ;-)

TA DA DA DA DA DAH !! With the advent of this thread, I may now reveal that I, Twinkie King Starbucks III, am none other than an illustrious Time Traveler from long ago and far away. I have been here on earth for years. My time capsule malfunctioned and I arrived here sooner than my fellow time travelers from LAAFA who are expected and who will be here in a matter of weeks.

I have tried not to mess with anything vital here on Earth, like any political leader, etc. Since I am the leader of my cadre of fellow Time Travelers, I will soon be meeting them at the TTMP (Time Travelers’ Meeting Place) and we will very soon be offering for sale our book dedicated to serving mankind of this area of the Universe (”To Serve Man”).
