OOC: Hey. my character's from San Francisco. What did you expect?
Alternative history? Sounds like fascinating genre that could be more heavily explored in the years to come.![]()
You really are a Cali Wako, a SF Weirdo! History is not made by "ifs", even if transistors came at a dollar for a dozen (not counting enginerring and interconection production costs). These resources are better spent in text analisys. For example in literature which vocabolary does Shakespeare use in his works, what frequency, is it consistent in all his works, phrases or grammar forms are repeated, etc. In history: gather all historical resources and analize for consistency, common sources, etc.
Imagine a sort of eletronic buletin board or common newspaper discussing politics, in no time mayhem happens: people insulting each other, commie provocatours, or even genuine leftie proposing absurd ideas. I'm in favor in principle to equal race rights and some states even allow interatial mariage. But these changes to sociaty must be gradual otherwise it's anarchy! It's a slipery slope. Negros' rights and conciousness? great. Negro pride? fine. Negro power? Negro suprematism ... extremisms are easy to come by. And what next? depenalize homosexual acts? why we are at it make fags moral? Homosex conciousness? man-man and woman-woman mariage?
As I said thes tools are too powerful to be to the hands of the common man. Imagine what these teenagers may come to if left unattended with such power!
Are you a commie provocateur or just a naive leftie idealist?
(OCC. just to be sure ... it's my character speaking, not me)
