This was supposed to be a quote by Titor:
"Your example of what people would do based on something I might say is accurate. However, my concern would be the potential actions of a single person, not the masses. In 1963, if I suggested that someone should watch the book depository windows as the President went by, the actions of a single person might have a huge impact on history. You also asked if I've visited my "past" family. That's where I am now."
Why did he use an analogy of Kennedy's assassination? He makes it seem as if he had very little education as a youth and when he was older history lessons were very limited. I know it's knitpicking, but is this really an example someone from his furture would use?

edit:
More contradictions. Our money is usable as currency in the future. This makes no sense. The federal government has fallen, the federal reserve bank is probably gone with as well. Money from today would be as valued as money from the Confederacy of the Civil War, only for it's historical or collector's value.
"Automobiles are used mostly for sport and some transportation." Would this agrarian civilization have the resources to refine petroleum for sporting purposes?
The new federal government is situated in Omaha Nebraska. Currently the U.S. Strategic Command (formerly Strategic Air Command) is at Offutt Air Base in Bellevue Nebraska located 10 miles from downtown Omaha. According to Titor, when the bombs start falling they take out all major cities and military installations. WTF, did the Russians forget to bomb one of the most important military sites in North America, or is the new Federal Government located in one of the most highly radioactive locations in the country?
