This is the next TPM Challenge --

First, an introduction:  Quinn introduced me to a site that poses an annual question to erudite people.   Some examples are, "What do you think is true even though you can't prove it?," or "What is the most important innovation in the last 2,000 years?"  I won't go on, because I will give the website and you can check it out for yourself. 

Although I am not a big "rule" person, I will make one suggestion, which is not one that the original website uses:    I would suggest that you spend some time thinking about your answer before reading those of other people because it will increase the creativity quotient.  In fact, I will make an alteration in the way to handle this -- give your well-thought out answer to the question, and then add another based on responses from those that have made you rethink your answer.  Aren't we adaptable?

OK!  Here is the FIRST QUESTION:

What event of the last 100 years would you change?

This is the website:

The next question:  DO NOT ANSWER THIS NOW!  THINK ABOUT IT, and if the response to this one is interesting I will propose it in due time:

What would our country be like today if our ancestors had repudiated the institution of slavery?

Quinn,  thanks again for this great, mind exercise!
