“Hegel was right when he said that we learn from history that man can never learn anything from history.” ~ George Bernard Shaw

As entertaining as the literature is, I refuse to become embroiled in discussions, debates, arguments, bar fights, or even late night eye stabbings over the possibility, feasibility, potential reality, or desirability of time travel. Point of fact, my position on time travel is that I simply won’t tolerate it.

First off, the sheer power of time travel puts it into the realm that will be fought over with lethal vigour by big money and its pet, government. Bad enough they control what they do now, but we have to draw a line somewhere. And after that, I have a second issue.

Revisionist history is the single greatest threat to humanity’s understanding of itself that has ever been invented, and there needs to be a death penalty I swear to fuck. Look at the reprehensible and yet regrettably still thriving ranks of people who want not only themselves and their own circle, but everyone else to believe the Holocaust never happened. Look at the multiple revisions of the Bible, each carrying its own slant on someone’s agenda. Read the fucking news. After all that, think about how wonderful a world it would be if people had the power to make the other people, things, and events they consider to be inconvenient simply unhappen. Ladies and Gentlemen, I am here to tell you that I consider my daily experience plying my business in such a tiny expanse as Nova Scotia to be sufficient evidence that most humans of the current version, regardless of their level of education or economic entitlement, lack the maturity and trustworthiness to reliably and safely operate a motor vehicle, let alone a device with such far reaching consequences as a time machine.

So I simply won’t have it. Neither should you, and I’m putting together a posse of like minded critters to join me in stamping it out once and for all. In the end, we’ll probably never have to mobilize because even if time travel is possible and has ever been realized, I’m sure some son of a bitch as bad as or worse than me … and possibly me … has grown, and will continue to grow, tired of it and repeatedly come back from the resultant, ever fluctuating fucked up world of a future after time travel to off yet again the stupid bastard who worked so hard to make it happen.

Are ya WITH me?
