otoh, the actual Trojans fought for years before Odysseus thought up that trick.
Sounds like you'd have given up Helen before second breakfast.

Do yourself a favor. Spend Christmas through New Year's in the town you're planning on moving to first.
I can't wait for his biopic.
His father was up there with Robert Altman as an independent director.
He was in "Weird Science" as a bully when he was 19. Kept getting movie roles even when he was being arrested on a weekly basis. Turned his life around and got sober.
Be interesting to see if they can find an actor to play him.

I just want all the money they are going to spend on new stationary, building signs, and other 'rebranding' costs.
Sorcerer. Remake of "Wages Of Fear." Four desperate men have to drive two trucks full of unstable dynamite across the jungle.
Good reply. Thanks
If you want to binge a great documentary, Ken Burns' The Civil War is phenomenal.
There's a story that says that a Northern quartermaster didn't want repeating rifles because he didn't want his troops wasting bullets.
More likely the repeating rifles were more expensive and heavier.
You didn't challenge anyone to improve themselves. You tried to impose your ideas on other people. There's a difference.
Cheers.
it could not have happened and would not have happened, for essentially economic reasons.
The interesting alternative histories are ones that turn on a single fortuitous event.
You said it couldn't happen, then said that there are ways it could have happened.
Also, if you don't want to be part of the discussion, you are free to stay out. other people are participating and enjoying themselves.
You are contradicting yourself.
Hitler left orders not to be awakened so he slept in on D-Day. Rommel had left his post. Think that wouldn't have changed things?
Stalin had dozens of warnings that Hitler planned to invade. What if he'd taken even one seriously?
What if Hitler had let the Army get the glory at Dunkirk and steamrolled the troops on the beach?
I can think of dozens of times the course of the War changed by the actions of one person.
So, the socialist won, and you're saying he couldn't win??
