deleting nouns...

*idly hefts the bulk eraser of history she confiscated from Mal*

If there was one person, place, thing, or event you could erase from history without consequence, what would it be? Would you still erase it or them from the timestream if it meant that other actions their or its presence caused would not have happened?

There's no going back in time to fix the damage that's been done, obviously. There's a lot of things I wonder what would have happened had they gone differently, if I'd made the choice to go right intead of going left, if I'd taken the road more traveled by?

And would I give up the one oh so right thing that happened because of the noun I would delete from the time stream?

I don't know.

not nesissarily. Its actually quite likely that there would be a WWII, as if Germany won by Christmas then there wouldn't be a general anti-war vibe going around yet. And France would be awful pissed about being beat by Gremany twice in a row...

hmm, don't know about that . . . even if there was another war, I doubt it would have leveled Europe as Hitler did. (I'm picturing Adolf Hitler as a staff artist at a Berlin advertising agency in the alternate 1934.)

Would there have been anything like a Fascist movement -- would Communism have been weaker than in our timeline?
