[QUOTE="August, post: 18619, member: 138"] [b]if you had a working time machine[/b] gomp, What lengths would you go to in order to make sure the other guy does not get "some crazy space aged laser weapons, come back to now and take over the earth"? Would you kill him to make sure he does not? How many other guys are out there? Also, if an evil fellow takes a time machine to the future to get some super powerful weapons and returns to the present to take over the earth, he will have a very difficult time. Because now he has changed from being an evil fellow to being an evil fellow who is a large physical threat. Before he showed up with his big laser cannon, he was just an evil guy with a time machine in the garage. Now he is an evil guy with his picture in the paper. Who will make him a sandwich while he is zapping F-14 Tomcats? If he comes back with a thousand phaser cannons or a fleet of spacecraft, how will he hand them out? "WANTED: T-plasmogen cannon operators; must be able to withstand worldwide wrath and contempt; quick learners desired; minimum five years combat experience; disconnected ego a plus; salary plus benefits, dental." Besides, when he comes back with a better way to scare people and kill people, he will be faced with a 30,000 year old problem: supply chain management. So I have decided against taking over the earth. My house was built during John Adams' Presidency, about 1798. When I go into the attic, I can see rough-hewn chestnut timbers held together with wooden pegs. The workmanship is excellent. The pegs still have the marks of the last hit of the carpenter's hammer. I would travel back to my house being built. I would offer my services as a simple porter. I would carry their tools, bring them water. Listen to their conversations, their hopes for the new nation. In many ways I have already done this, no? Besides, I would not understand Jesus. Einstein would not have time for me. [/QUOTE]
