Have you ever read Ray Bradbury's 'A Sound of Thunder'? [View all]

People go back in time to hunt a dinosaur, hunter gets scared and steps off the path, and when they go back to the present, the world is a lot dumber and a fascist won the election and it's proven with this quote...

"You joking? You know very well. Deutscher (the fascist), of course! Who else? Not that fool weakling Keith. We got an iron man now, a man with guts!"

All because the hunter stepped on a butterfly when he got scared.

You can read the story here if you are interested.

Now, how is it that we have gone to the Moon and eradicated smallpox, and THIS is one of the latest chain emails making the rounds?

If you can't see the similarity between the quote above and this email, then you aren't paying attention.

So it has to be asked, who went back to what time and stepped on what creature?
