One guy travelling back in time with a bunch of countefiet cash will not put things into the favor of something righteous. We have capitalism which cannot be 'bought out'.

Just think about going back in time for one minute Ben. Lets say that you once were offered several hundred acres of land at 5.00 or 10.00 an arcre that you know will be worth 20 million dollars or more in the furture.

I would travel back in a heart beat just so I could buy the land so I could sell it today for that amount wouldn't you? One piece of land that I am thinking of is the Las Vegas Strip he he

This is exactly why the average person shouldn't go back in time, they would just use it to think only of themselves instead of doing something good with it. Sounds like you would not only stop there, but if you had this ability you would eventually go back far enough to maybe set yourself up as a king or a dictator.
