@OW-Holmes--Upset with Polling: We can't, because if we travel into the future from this point in time, it will be the future of THIS reality, in which Biff is corrupt, powerful, and married to your mother, and in which THIS has happened to ME!! [holds up newspaper reading "EMMETT BROWN COMMITTED"] No, our only chance to repair the present is in the past, at the point where the time line skewed into this tangent. In order to put the universe back as we remember it and get back to our reality, we have to find out the exact date and specific circumstances of how, when, and where young Biff got his hands on that sports almanac.
@Grey_Area: Aww, thanks! :) Here's a secret, though, I already have a 4-year-old. But he thinks I am cool too. And he watches LOTR. So we have that going for us, which is nice.
@OW-Holmes--Upset with Polling: If you're referring to the description of Frank Miller's Martha Washington, it works out like this:
1.In the 1990s Frank Miller wanted to write a political satire. He set it in the future so it wouldn't be about any specific person but about general concepts in politics and socioeconomics.
2.In the 1990s the 21st Century was still in the future.
3.Much of the story takes place in what is now our present day --the early 21st Century.
4.Frank Miller is a good writer but not a prescient one. His fictional details of 21st Century life are entertaining but of course have no connection with the actual 21st Century we find ourselves in. They diverge quite a bit.
