Channel 7 is fascinating to me, he's from a future that he's trying to prevent.
His favorite time (he can travel to any period he likes and stay there for awhile) is the end of colonial United States, when he was the famous statesman Ben Franklin. One of his proudest moments was when he "walked in" to sign the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.
If you find trouble believing that someone could travel in time, Channel 7 asks this,
Where are your priceless (historical and otherwise) treasures, art in silver and gold, precious woods, marble, brass and alloy from the past, especially Early America? What has become of all the beautiful crafts and works of jewels and art from the past and the even recent present? Rusted? In a sense,"chuckle". In someone's attic? Nope. Please note that even the ultra rich search for these things today. Also, wonder and rejoice when someone announces that they find a thing of true value from the past, that I haven't gotten to take to my future.
Please also note that I come from a future world ruled dynastically by women. There is always a vote, but the same woman always rules until her death, her dynastic title is "Papa". She is...boring. She keeps everything so safe that it's boring. So safe that there is no adventure. In her world, the statue of Liberty is called the "Folly of Liberty", and weeps huge copper tears for those people damaged by accident when they could have been kept safe in their own little cocoon. But excuse me, I'm being political. In her world, it's a crime to be even connected with a product or service that causes, or even might cause, accidental harm). Deathly boring!
Channel 7 is not against women, he's against over protectionism and for the dignity of risk and choice.
He rather likes tobacco, strong drink and pistols which, of course, are forbidden in his future.
