Harry(?) Anslinger was born. Maybe that's Henry, I don't really care. ASSHOLE anyway, whatevs.
This was my initial reaction to this question as well. Yet I wouldn't prevent him from being born, I would actually make sure him and his political career would be publicly ruined. I just think that if Anslinger were never born there would just be some other person with a personal vendetta who would show up to fight cannabis. If Anslinger were publicly shown to be a liar and a fraud then I feel there would be a much greater likelihood that people would not support cannabis prohibition for fear of them ruining their own personal reputations by supporting a known fraud.
Another moment in time I would attempt to change is the day Kurt Cobain killed himself. I would hope that if Cobain never killed himself the course of popular music would be very different; maybe we would still have some real rock 'n' roll.
