Sounds like we have a bunch of fatalists here. At least in a sense... in the "better the evil you know" crowd, and the "don't want to alter history" sense.
What if, as a hypothetical situation, someone had already done so? Say Billy the Kid should've been elected as president of the US, but someone shot him before he could get around to it? Or some other random unknown? Would it really be so bad? If it were so bad, would you know? Would you care? Would it matter?
A mild point of amusement for me... what if you killed all of Hitler's opponents? I mean, if you killed the other world leaders and key players of the time before they'd risen to power? Would Hitler still have become what he became?
