Tried it once, didn't work out so well, so you might want to plan those retirement investments after all.
But back to the original topic....
Every moment is a crossroads in history, but we only see the obvious ones. A simple distraction, a sneeze, an alarm clock that didn't go off can have profound effects on history.
What if Hitler was a better painter?
What if Castro was a bit better a pitcher?
What if Abraham Lincoln had a better body guard?
Things like this can change the history of the world, only we never see it. You could argue that conditions were right for a change, but its the people that matter. It is the simple events which turn into the large ones.
