      It had to happen, because it did happen.

      Unless we’re playing by Back To The Future rules, in which case … I dunno man, whatever gets him to not hook up with his mom.

    Maybe that’s why so few books survived the fire.

    They were brought to the future and we are in the in between time. * X files music*

    Someone needs to take out Machiavelli or otherwise prevent him from writing The Prince while we’re in the past. Might not do anything but it could fix a lot if it does

        Yes. I read The Prince and I think Machiavelli’s reputation as malevolent and scheming is undeserved. Perhaps he shocked the sensibilities of some by saying the quiet part out loud, but it would be foolish for either a ruler or his subjects to be unaware of that quiet part due to misplaced idealism. This remains true in the present day.

        Edit: I assume that you know this, but I thought that a reply to you was a good place to say it to others.
