My name's not "Pamela", it's Steve! You lot keep on calling me Pam and it's giving me a complex!

P.S. - Peter Davison was best and the idea of time travel is a fantastic imaginative journey, I'm not interested in the negatives here - I KNOW ALL ABOUT THAT!

P.P.S. - Thanks for your reply anyway! I appreciate it!

Recently, I had someone ask me a question that made me give serious thought to how I've lived my life. The only conclusion I can come up with is that I let my insecurities stop me from being myself, and I didn't get to help the people I wanted to. I can't believe that this was my only chance. If I could change things for the better, why shouldn't I try? Yes, I could continue my life, try hard and pretend to be happy and comfortable, but I can't go through life without trying to figure out if there's more to this. Even if it never worked out, at least I tried and didn't settle at "what if."

Besides, who's to say what's happened should have happened? Maybe we're supposed to go back and change things if we can.

That said, my reason for traveling back in time would be to give myself and others a second chance.

I hope I gave you a good response.
 
Beautifully put Dakota Wilson… So little un-selfishness in your reason to Time Travel, and I can relate to giving others a second chance.

I’m the last person to call my self perfect. I’ve done mistakes in my past, that I try hard daily to forget. And going back in time to correct them, will surely allow me to live my life to it’s optimum potential.

But it’s wrong to change the past, and dictate what we know now, should be implemented in the past. If we did that, what would that do to our human integrity? What about our principles? Will we be hypocrites and allow something like Time Travel, to do something good?

Do the ends, justify the means?

Should we sacrifice our privacy and our way of life to destroy a threat?

We have compromised enough over time, to the point where it’s wearing thin.

The day to make a decision will someday come.

I fear that we are not ready to take such a leap…

I am reminded of this daily, and many other ethical scenarios. It is my moral anchor, it keeps me grounded. I maintain my humanity by keeping true to my self, and not stopping when something is wrong.

I have to.

Doing so other wise, will make me accept and succumb to all the immorality in the world.

When everyone else catches up to this realization, they may not know how to deal with it, and do something desperate like Time Travel.

I would say to them; “I been feeling this way for years, you don’t see me wanting to time travel to correct the problem.”

Shows still how disciplined we will be once we “know better.” Still not knowing any better then before.

My advice to those who would sanction such a thing, is have me as your consultant

. I’ll make sure you get it right the first time, every time.

I guess that’s my reason for Time Traveling. To have me talk some sense into those that messed up the Time Line to begin with.

“What were you thinking?” I’d say

TTA
 
How close are we to traveling into the past? Who thinks it's possible and why? I'm really curious.

So I want to change the past and help myself and my family and friends and anyone else I can have a better life. If it's possible to have a second chance, how could you not take it?

I wouldn't elimate all mistakes of my past and try to make myself perfect or anything. that'd be no fun.

What exactly is a time travel activist? I'm curious.
 
Let me see if I can answer that question on only 4 1/2 hours of sleep, and being on over drive all day

Well, basically a TimeTravelActivist (TTA) is a man who is devoted to serve humanity. He can’t help it, it’s his curse… He just cares greatly. He feels that he carries the weight of the world on his shoulders. He fights those that would decline the futures morality.

He’s a fair man, (well he tries to be) and realizes that the world needs balance. A lot of people are biased (1 sided), and he feels he is the voice of reason to a lot of these fanatics.

I am the only TTA (that I know of) in existence in this time period. No one else but me has taken such a vocal stance on the issues of Time Travel, and kept it up for 3 years.

And I won’t give up any time soon either.

I have faced fanatics, critics, back stabbers, persons of high academic achievements. And I have kept up with the best of them. TTA has done pretty good for a 21 yr old. mixed breed Hispanic male with limited college education.

What’s my secret for holding on this long to an unproven possibility?

2 things…

1. My moral imperative to do so, obviously.
&
2. The psychic impressions, manifestations, dreams, déjà vu’s, head aches, voices.
Just to name a few

.

All play a major role in my character development. In that I have no other choice, but to take matters into my own hands and do something about it.

They’re human principles that must be followed. And if I don’t point a finger to those individuals that are going to bring us down, I accept what they are doing. Acceptance of the present human condition is justification to all the wrong we are potentially going to inflict in this world. And I must help stop it, at all cost.

It’s just that simple for me.

Isn’t it to some of you?

So, I hope I helped answer your question, what is a TTA?

Goodnight,
TTA
 
I didn't expect such a well-thought out answer to my question. and on only 4 1/2 hours of sleep no less. thank you. and I must say, I am surprised that you are close to my age. I am impressed.

Your answer to my question sparks another question if you don't mind. Where besides this website do you offer your services as the "voice of reason"?

Do you enjoy being the only TTA you've ever heard of, or would you like to see more?
 
Dakota Wilson,

<<Your answer to my question sparks another question if you don't mind.>>

Such polite respectable demeanor in which you asked, of course I won’t mind answering another question

.

Let me just jump right into your question(s):

<<Where besides this website do you offer your services as the "voice of reason"?>>

Hmmm, well at the moment I am just here. In the past, I was in 2 other places. At one message board, I was kicked out from, but later allowed back in, on a misunderstanding. But that place closed down a day later, weird coincidence. And another place where I once again got kicked out of. That place is still active I believe, but very biased. I don’t go there. Not after the administrator and his little Titor cult showed their true colors to me. Read thru some of these old posts to see what was going on: http://timetravelinstitute.com/ttiforum/f1/817.php

They hardly post here, because they know they can’t answer my questions, or volunteer to have a 2 sided dialogue
happy.gif
. They rather live in their fantasy world and drag everyone else’s thinking down to their level.

However, that’s why I’m here
wink.gif
. This Administrator is cool, he won’t kick me out just because he’s open for suggestions.

<< Do you enjoy being the only TTA you've ever heard of, or would you like to see more?>>

Yes, I’d love to see more TTA’s out there. It would be a blessing to this world if more people would not roll over on people’s command. This world has a problem with acceptance. It’s gone to far… Nowadays you can’t even say anything, for fear of offending someone. It’s not “politically correct” I believe that’s the term they call it.

It’s tough being a critic 24/7. Especially when you’re the only one who see’s things this way. I have no one to back me up, a lot of people just don’t want to be involved in being vocal about their beliefs. I’m not talking about religious beliefs, I’m talking about those that are in cults or fanatical about certain issues that affect civilization as a whole. I don’t take that crap… I’m not about to allow that to happen, if I can help it. I only wish others would too.

Sincerely,
TTA
 
I must say I enjoy reading your posts so much that I find myself looking for them on other subjects.

I'm glad there are at least a few people who allow themselves to consider both sides of a subject and can do so while maintaining their beliefs. I haven't met many people who can do that. Lately, when I've been talking to friends about the possibility of achieving such a thing as this, all I hear is "ignorance is bliss." It seems their answer for everything is to keep their mind closed to all the bad and not think about it and accept everything the way it is. I'd like to give them some hope, but I don't know enough about this subject yet to make the impression needed to open their minds.

I wanted to email you but alas I am not registered and there is a block on any new members so I leave it up to you whether or not you want to email me. [email protected]
 
RE: What are the reasons for time travel?

I would remove all misery. This is how it's done: I would send a time machine to everybody and advise them to put one grain into it and send it one second back in time. Then they would have two grains. Now they would put them into the machine and have four grains. This they would repeat until they were rich.

What if somebody would still be unhappy? They could begin psychoanalysis and find out why they were so unhappy. Then they could go back to their childhood and make things right. Because man tends to disagree with himself, after a while there would be quite a few (same) people tempering with some poor family (their parents) and their kid (themselves). This starts to sound like a motif for a sci-fi book. A lot of funny or tragic confusion would follow.

Or perhaps it would be better to advise everybody to do what ever they wished. If they did something they regretted, they could go a while back in time and start over. So if somebody for example partied a bit too much and made a fool of himself, then the following morning he could go back, shoot himself, and take it a bit easier. Or perhaps he should shoot everybody else, so it wouldn't matter if he made a fool of himself. And there would be a lot more booze, too.
