25. depends on what you mean by time travel
To pick the time and date you want, and to go there by dial of a machine is clearly impossible. If it were possible, all the "great" events, such as man landing on the moon and the birth of Christ, would be over-run by tourists.

Common sense, people.

Of course in one sense we are all time travelers. I have traveled here from the 1950s. But the time we start, the speed of our journey, and the moment we exit the trip...all are out of mortal control.

The conservation movement is a breeding ground of communists
and other subversives. We intend to clean them out,
even if it means rounding up every birdwatcher in the country.
--John Mitchell, US Attorney General 1969-72
