So, if they'd asked you to write the Declaration, it'd say:

It's not fair to ask me to rewrite history Jacob. It's much too complex. My particular brand of propaganda only has impact for the instant it is produced. If I wait around long enough it always comes home to bite me.

For instance on my way back to 1776, I would likely be delayed by the need to at least consider trying to bomb Germany into rubble before the close of 1937. Then there'd have been the whole Russian problem and the Ottoman, British, Dutch, Belgian, Boer, French, and Chinese situations to deal with.

I doubt seriously that I'd ever make it back to 1776. But if I did, I am sure that there wouldn't be much "future" left to speak to.

It's much easier to simply take it as is and add copious grains of salt. <vbg>
