History Could Changing a Key Historical Event Really Alter Our Present?

[drankin]

Ivan's thread got me thinking. If you were able to change a single event in history, what would it be?

I'd get banned.

If his thread got you thinking about this question, you must have an event you are thinking of. Why not get the ball rolling and explain?

I wouldn't change anything in my life for sure. Good, bad, and ugly, it made me who I am.

But, others might not feel the same way about their own life. So, I thought I'd ask a bigger question. What event in history would one change? I should add the question of why but I figured most would elaborate.

Maybe somehow make it to where 911 never happened.

World's history is a chaotic and unpredictable system. By altering one part of history, you might accomplish your goal in the short run, but the effects could ripple down through the future and produce very undesirable results, or very desirable results but you have way of knowing that.

Exactly, maybe only the most recent history would be most someone would dare to alter.

Come on, Evo. Surely you could word it in a way that wouldn't cause you to ban yourself. :)
