Reply #1: IT wouldn't work

I have a masters in history - and this idea seems nonsensical - I would say that archivists are our best hope not historians. Keep ahold of the primary documents and future historians can sort it out - allow the primary documents to be destroyed, and they will be up a creek.

For one thing we would disagree on what 1996 was really all about. For another we would disagree on how exactly things have changed since 1996.

How tight was Republican control of the Media in 1996 vs. 2006? Seems like there could be a wide range of disagreement on this issue.

How corrupt were our nations election boards in 1996 vs. 2006? I don't know if this was even an issue in 1996.
