jacob- I semi-beleive you that you are a time traveler. (I read your initial post) but you have to understand how many bogus claimers come here and say they are time travelers.

i do beelive that time travel will one day be possible.

so here are my questions on the chance that you are who you say you are.

1-I can't see the tea party being "violent", you sure you are not just trying to discredit them? As in that is what you are really posting about?

2-Who was the next president after obama?

3-If you and your family were hiding out with no contact to the outside world, how could you know about world events from our time at all?

4-(you may have answered this one -I forget) if the world is just recovering in 2040 from everything, then what is the purpose of spending valuable resources to send someone back in time to now, simply to "test" time travel?
