Be in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996 to prevent Tupac's murder.
Be in LA on March 9, 1997 to prevent Biggie's murder.
Be in New Orleans for the week leading up to Super Bowl XXXVI to let the Rams know EVERYTHING the Patriots are going to do and stop the Belichick/Brady dynasty before it starts.
Bonus: stop the Eskimos from ever hiring Eric Tillman.
Doubt that would have worked; granted Cortez and Pizarro benefitted from local divisions and some dumb luck, but defeating them would have delayed the inevitable. Without horses, wheels or gunpowder, the original Americans couldn’t have held off the Europeans forever.
To get the result you want, you’d have to join Madjack and help the Mongols conquer Europe in the 1200s; they’d never have recovered in time to launch the age of exploration and imperialism.
Or how about this one: go back and persuade the Ming Emperors of China to continue the explorations of admiral Zheng He in the 1400s. The Americas might have gone Chinese from the west, instead of European from the east.
If your comment is in response to FootBalYouBet don’t forget that during Christ’s time the common language of the day was Aramaic. Also remember that FootBalYouBet would not have had to understand either language since Christ being God the Incarnate would have been able to speak in any language he chose- including English- even though the language did not evolve until a number of years later. Regardless Jesus could have also given FYB the ability to understand any of the languages spoken in Israel at the time.
September 25th 1980 - The death of John Bonham...drummer of Led Zepplin. Bonham died because of a day long binge of Alcohol. In the evening of that day Bonham passed out at Jimmy Pages house and thus taken to bed by John Paul Jones and manager Benji Lefevre. Instead; my call would have been for him to be taken to the hospital as John drank too much Vodka for a person to survive.The following morning Bonham was found dead.
…and to be at that theatre to intervene, before those other poor souls were murdered and also put a stop to that Lofthouse slaughter awhile back…BUT most of all to be there when the American constitution was being laid out and have that clasue ‘right to bear arms’ severly limited or erased…
The problem there is, papa, when the constitution was written, they were thinking in terms of flintlock muskets. You don't walk into a school and blow away 28 people with a flintlock musket.
I'd do some sh*t to 19 cowards on September 10th, 2001 that would make most of you vomit in your mouths a little.
But, I'm completely shocked that that date hasn't been mentioned here.
How soon we forget.
P.S. - I'd go back to yesterday morning and tell CNN et al to not interview traumatized children!
