Going back in time

[Kosko]

buy a copy of Grey's sports almanac, go back in time and give it to my younger self, come back and become rich and rule over hill valley.

I dont know if I'd want to alter much really, as any actions I could take to alter my poor financial situation might lead me away from the life Im currently living, and as far as Im concerned, aside from being strapped for cash, I really like my life the way it is.

Sure, I could go back and kill Hitler and possibly prevent the Holocost, but at what cause? Where would the world be if that tragedy had never happened? Unpredictable to say, really. For all we know, the world could have ended up much worse off.

Bad move man.
No Hitler, no big US Gov contracts in WWII.
IBM would still be making typewriters.
You gotta chose one or the other but you can't serve God and Mammon.

I'd travel back to Germany, 1923, and shank Hitler in jail.
Then I'd travel foward 15 - 20 years and buy 5,000 shares of IBM stock.

I'd stop Robert Zemeckis from creating Back to the Future 2&3, therefore negating the possibility of Huey Lewis & the News from writing the song "back in time".

Yeah, I hate that tune, and this thread title just brought that all back.

Thang-Q!

Give a scenario you would want to change back in time, but it somehow alters the world we live in now.

Don't know if this has been done before...

I'd of kept that 66 P bass instead of selling it for $75 and a Hohrner 12 string.....

The details make this answer awesome.


Hill Valley? Who remembers this sort of thing, really?

Exactly what I'm thinking. Without WWII, it probably would have taken America much longer to get out of the depression.

And I would probably have taken a few more chances with some people, knowing now that it would have led somewhere. Oh and I would have bought a looper pedal to begin with, instead of a delay with a looper. And um...practice my bass as much as I do now, but at a much earlier age.

I also wouldn't have wasted my time in T.V. Production in my senior year and I guess take a foreign language during high school just so I don't have to worry about it now.

Okay, that's it. Promise. Every other big history changing thing I wouldn't touch. Except maybe I'd make Rudy win the first season of Survivor, because that still bothers me. A Navy Seal or a naked guy? I'd take the Navy Seal.
