<<Exactly my point as well, Jim.  During 'what if' scenarios, 
<<there seems to be the assumption that we can change a major 
<<portion of history, and assume that everything else remains 
<<as is.  That's why I rarely engage in too much 'what iffing' 
<<(hey, a new phrase!) because as I stated in an earlier post, 
<<if you change one event, it's a what if; change two that are 
<<dependant on each other, and it becomes fantasy.
