If you could change one thing....

If you had the ability to change one thing in the history of our planet, what would you change?

Would you stop the Nazis?
Would you stop the dinosaurs from being extinct?
Would you have that one girl/boy love you back?
...

What would you do with that kind of power?

I would change the fact that people have the ability to change something in history. I think it's a very dangerous ability. ;)

I'd make sure that Obama was never born, because all of the debt that America is now in, and also how much he's trying to change our country. They're taking our freedoms away one inch at a time.

I would also make sure that this healthcare bill would never have been brought up, because it's a flawed bill. If that bill does get passed, than that means that we'd have to wait in line at hospitals for 4-10 times as long if not more, because fewer people would want to be doctors, because the pay would be ridiculously low for them compared to what they're making now.

When can the people of America get America back again?

I wouldn't change a thing. We humans have to take our lumps and learn our lessons the hard way. Preventing one horror would likely just delay it or make it that much worse when it finally came around without my "time-meddling".

what about the holocaust? if you had the chance you wouldn't even stop that? I guess it could disrupt the space time thing..though

I think humanity had to learn that horrific lesson and experience that horrific, enduring pain. I think if we hadn't, we would have let someone else do something on the same scale at some future point. The proof is the fact that we still have allowed other, "smaller scale" holocausts to occur since then (Rwanda, 1994 -- 800,000 people.) More: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rwandan_Genocide
