That requires strength of character and great courage to engage in direct up close and personal confrontation that way. Mano a mano. But a stick that you point from a distance and squeeze a little trigger on it to kill things? Pfft. That doesn't call for courage, it is rather cowardly, lazy and weak.

Mine would be to go back too 4 May 1818 the day before the birth of Carl Marx and prevent his arrival. So he wouldn't pollute the world with his sick garbage thinking.


So what would be yours?

I’d eliminate these silly stories before people could have a chance to think they are literal history.

Do you prefer swords, spears, and lances?

I am also a big fan of low tech high performance items in my life to go along with this idea.
I've already lived it and was happy.

Remember how they hated "the man" (big gov't)

Then, they became "the man" (big gov't)

What hypocrites.

Live by the sword...die by the sword! Plenty died hating on each other long before gun powder was invented.

Ya know, until now I never put those two together like that, but you're absolutely correct. And now we call those hippies "leftist democrats".

I would have enaced an amendment in 1930 to freez gov't spending at 10% of GDP:

In 2022, we're now at 50% of GDP...and growing towards economic collapse
