Ooohhh, no, I ain't messing with time like that.

Too many unpredictables.

It's always nice to think about preventing the inquisition, or Nazi Germany, or whatever horror humankind has perpetrated.

But trying to undo something that major, you can't know what all will change. There's threads wiggling through the tapestry of time, and you start snipping one, and ten others can fall loose.

That being said, I'm going to risk undoing the debacle that was New Coke. That was an abomination, and even if we end up worse for the lack of it, it would be worth it
