6. I like to think about this concept.

So many possibilities. I wish we could find a way to get into one of those universes. Like right now, I wish I could switch over to a happier universe where the past election went in a much better direction for us Dems. Sigh.

A universe where Gore became president is definitely interesting to think about. Also, Stephen King wrote a story recently that somewhat touched on the subject of parallel universes. It was a story about where JFK's presidency would have went if he hadn't been assassinated.

I also like to think about a universe where Bush and Cheney didn't finish out their second term as they were brought down by scandal and personal difficulties. Some of us felt so certain that that would be the reality we'd experience, but I guess we may have just overindulged in wishful thinking a bit much. Sigh again.

Yeah, so many possibilities to think about.

One of my favorite movies that touch on the parallel universe/time travel concept is Donnie Darko. I love that movie.
