I'm not really into it, but I have read some of Harry Turtledove's alternate civil war stuff. Hey, S&P, the south wins in this one. Actually, it's quite interesting.

Oh yeah, welcome. When you get to 40, sell. Trust me here.

Ok, what if the South won the Civil War, that is a popular genre of American Alternate History. Could the United States be the same with a slavocrat republic to it's southern borders?

Oh man, you're in trouble

Who, little ol' me?

I meant what I said. I'd like to get his take on a couple things. Be nice to debate it with someone who might actually have read beyond 10th grade textbooks.

OAS...despite what some might lead you to think, I don't bite. Usually.

OAS, wow, that sure is interesting, never thought some people would take it as far as making models about it.

They had a big display about it in the Natural history museum in London about 15 years ago. They concluded that we wouldn't have survived because we were cold blooded. Ice age and all that.

Well, not all of the world was covered in ice, not Africa, not South America, not Oceania, not parts of Asia. They could have lived there.

I read some of those, very well thought out.

Just saying what the findings of the museum were. I think they were less adapatble than their mamallian counterparts.
