Guests:	Open Lines, Linda Moulton Howe, Richard Dolan, Jim Marrs

Inspired by Robert Frost's poem The Road Not Taken(1), George offered a 'What If' hotline for people who wanted to wax hypothetical about what could have been if past (or future?) events played out differently. Some of the callers' scenarios follow:
What if...

• the South had prevailed in the Civil War?
• civil rights pioneer Rosa Parks had not refused to give up her seat aboard a public bus?
• the Beatles had never come to America in 1964?
• all of us got together and didn't buy gas for one day?
• the world had listened to doctors who proclaimed Hitler insane in 1934?
• Robert Kennedy had not been ushered through the kitchen pantry in the Ambassador Hotel the day he was assassinated?
• the founding fathers had voted German as the official language of the U.S.?

Also during Open Lines a caller from Hot Springs, Arkansas shared his penchant for microwaving RFID tags in order to watch them "go up in a puff of smoke." Don from Anaheim recently noticed that his motorcycle's gas mileage has dropped from 41 to 34 mpg. He said his wife also reported a reduction in gas mileage for her Saab. Greg, a practicing Wiccan reverend, recalled his experience at a haunted 'haunted house' built in an cement factory. He said he performed a ritual there and felt a burning sensation in his feet. He later found out that an employee of the factory had burned to death.
