snarfmaster C Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 i really don't think killing henry ford would help. that is purely personal. i don't believe the downfall of humanity can be blamed on a single person or invention. each individual is a member of humanity and is able to live according to their beliefs. [edit - i see you aren't blaming it entirely on this one invention but i still think that's a pretty bold statement and in a way laying the blame on a society's decision to embrace his invention on the wrong person - ie why didn't he get labelled a psychopath?!] as for me in a time machine --- i'd want to go back maybe a thousand years to see nature (can i travel in space too? i'd like to see a few places on the earth) without the large-scale intense modification by us humans.
