If you could undo one historical event, which would it be? (Liberal insanity)

A liberal sent me a link to this site. It's amazing which are the historical events liberals would most like to erase.

1.The Destruction of Alexandria's Great Library (most votes. I can definitely see the historical importance, but doubt I would have that as my top pick!)

2.Elian Gonzalez and the Butterfly Effect.

4. Hitler, Berchtold, Constantine. (Hitler would be an easy choice, but then they make Constantine part of the choice?)

7. Erase the advent of agriculture (Serious?? Why don't they just wish the big bang never happened? I guess some how in their twisted minds they just know without agriculture they would be doing just fine.

(I’d go back earlier than that. No Mohammad and no Islam.)

You beat me to it. By far Mohammad is responsible directly and especially indirectly for the greatest amount of evil throughout known history, and still is.

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the people discover they can vote themselves largess out of the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that democracy always collapses over a loose fiscal policy—to be followed by a dictatorship.” ~ Alexander Fraser Tytler

“Lincoln issuing the Emancipation Proclamation without any plan to repatriate the slaves to their native habitat.”

By 1861, every slave in America was native to America with most having ancestors in America since before the American Revolution.

Therefore, their “”native habitat” was the United States.

That way Saul Alinsky would have no one in which to dedicate his handful of screeds.

Better. It eliminates WWI. And with no WWI, no Versaille, no Weimnar Germany, no Hitler (as anything but a frustrated artist), no Holocaust, probably no Soviet Untion either.
