I don't think I'd kill anybody. How can you possibly hope to foresee the consequences of this one act? There's the old story about the man who went back in time and accidentally killed a butterfly, and when he returned to his own time things had altered radically. If you killed, say, Hitler, who's to say what might have arisen in his place? Or Gavril Princip, or Atilla the Hun, or Alexander the Great, or Jesus, or Pontius Pilate, or some random guy in a field in medieval France.

No, thank you.
