McCain would mean our only hope is a 12-Monkey's style do-over. |

In the movie 12 Monkeys, scientists face a virus that is so bad the only way to stop it is to go back in time and stop it's release.
For our world, we would need to go back and stop the insane idea that capitalists don't need any regulation. As Americans we would also want to stop the person who said rich people don't need to pay taxes. The question is, who would finally end up being the culprit? Reagan? Milton Friedman? Nixon?
In the movie, the scientists, including a lady scientist, send the criminal Bruce Willis back in time to find out who maliciously released the deadly virus. He has trouble figuring it out. At first he thinks it's oscar-nominated psycho Brad Pitt. (He only plays a psycho in the movie.)
In fact Bruce Willis has such a hard time that he ends up being killed before he is able to kill the man who releases the virus. Major spoiler: However, in nearly the last scene we see the virus releaser taking a seat on an airplane as the lady scientist pours him some champagne.
So, shall we hope that science, facing global warming, famines, and wars, will have time to send someone back to give Reagan some champagne?

Somebody from the future would have shown up and kicked Bush in the nuts.
