I guess those Crispy Critters were trying to effect change, but like most things like that it didnt work. It just po'ed The Powers That Be and things got worse.

As to what time period I would like to see is to go ahead in time and find out what the world would be like 100 years from now. If its still here.

That type of change is only applicable in socialist countries, and even there it doesn't work....

That's why millions of ppl want to come here, the country of " exceptionalism "...what other country has the problem of keeping ppl OUT?............w/good reason, it's never the other way around....

Wouldn't that be something, to look into the future 100 yrs. from now...........

It would be. Would it be a Road Warrior world or a In The Days Of The Comet world? It would be interesting to find out.

Maybe not before I was dead, but it would be interesting to see what things were like after me and my immediate family were gone.

I presume there's no need to ask what era you would have chosen to live in? Togas and Breastplates I bet?
