Who Would You Kill?

So, the contemptible Cindy Sheehan was at a book signing and said she once saw an episode of The Twilight Zone in which a woman was sent back in time to kill Hitler as a baby. Then she said she wishes she had a time machine so she could go back in time and kill George Bush as a baby. And she said this with a blissful smile on her face and in a tone of voice that sounded like a nun explaining the Trinity to a Sunday school class. This woman is clearly unhinged. But it got me to thinking, if I had a time machine, who would I eliminate from history? Not being as cold-blooded and insane as Cindy Sheehan, I wouldn't kill babies, but I'd find some way to distract them from their paths. I narrowed down the list to three people whom I believe have created the most havoc and have been the greatest speed bumps to the advancement of civilization. Mohammed: The founder of the biggest, most murderous cult the world has ever seen. Had Mohammed not dreamed up Islam, the map of the world would be quite different than it is now, as would be our lives. Karl Marx: What can I say? His political philosophy caused the murder of more than 100 million people and counting. And that isn't even counting the wars communists have started. If it isn't Muslim terrorists killing and torturing, there's a good possibility that it's Communist rebels. ALL Communist countries are repressive and a threat to civilization. Charles Darwin: His malignant theories opened the door to secularism. For the first time, atheists could "scientifically" say that the world had developed without God. Darwin's theories led to the devaluation of human life by ranking it no more special than any other animal on the planet. That led to the pseudo-science of eugenics, which led to the Nazi death camps, forced sterilization of those considered unfit, abortion and other human rights violations all over the world. When Communist indoctrination teams fanned out all over China after the commies won the civil war in 1949, one of the first things they taught was the theories of Darwin. Although they're still called Darwin's theories, they are taught as fact in secular schools. That's a start. Who would you eliminate?

You notice Sheehan directs her hatred at the person who's fighting the evil, not the person who created it. She's not the deepest of thinkers. The way to kill a weed is to pull out its roots.

why don't we just start with her???

Joe Kennedy.

There is absolutely no telling how much better the world would be had he never existed. (Just ask the parents of Mary Joe Kopechne...)

Bill Clinton.
By eliminating him, you would kill two birds with one stone. Had Bill never been President, his wife (the most successful coat-tail surfer in Human History) would never have risen to any kind of power.

Jane Roe.
Had she herself been a victim of abortion, 45,000,000 murders could have been avoided, and (I firmly believe) the baby who would have grown up to be the scientist who cured Aids, Cancer, and the Common Cold would have been allowed to live. (Among others.)

'Fitty Cent.
He just is not necessary.

I may add more Tomorrow, but these are the first who come to mind...

Let's think Big Picture, people. We want to save millions of lives and end decades -- centuries -- of human suffering.

Joe Kennedy was certainly one of the great scoundrels in our history, but who's more responsible for getting us into the Vietnam War -- JFK, Ho Chi Minh or Karl Marx? Ted Kennedy has done more damage to our culture than any other single man, but our suffering doesn't come close to the suffering in much of the rest of the world.

Jane Roe was just a stupid girl who was manipulated by a couple of ACLU lawyers. The founder of the abortion revolution was Margaret Sanger, who considered the nation a "race" that could be strengthened by keeping the birth rate of the "fit" (the rich) above that of the "unfit" (the poor). The eugenicists warned of "race suicide" if the nation's dominant group -- educated people of Northern European descent -- did not increase its birthrate. And where did eugenics come from? Darwinism.

Cindy Sheehan is at the most, annnoying and sickening.

What was WWI all about? What was it fought over? Who is most responsible for getting us into it? It is very possible that if we hadn't entered WWI, Germany would have won. So what? Germany wasn't evil. WWI was a spat between the crowned heads of Europe -- most of whom were related. The English royal family spoke only German. And had we not made it possible for England to win WWI, there is every possiblity that there would have been no WWII.

Well, LR, you already covered all the big ones...

Mohammed, Marx, Darwin...

From these three, with the help of those that I mentioned and the ones that you added, sprung the foundations of every modern injustice and inequity.

I might add Hitler, but he was covered in the post as well.

I believe that it would take a little more than a Time Machine for me to eliminate Satan (the REAL source of all Evil) at the point of his creation...

That's about as big as the picture gets.

I'm trying...

While Marx is the top of the list followed child mohamid. Darwin, unfortunately on his deathbed, recanted his evolutionary theisis. Maybe that scientist that did the LSD studies in the 60's.

I wouldn't eliminate anyone by killing them, certainly, but I would try very hard to prevent that little laison between Abram and Hagar. (I'd probably just caution Sarai that it would be better to wait for G-d to move in the situation...)

The Cathlolic priests that burned the Mayan Books.... Not Big Picture, but a pet peeve of mine.

Lone Ranger said...

Cyndi: Show-off.

Trader: I prefer to call them Spanish priests. One of the oddest things about Hispanic history is that New World Hispanics don't seem to mind that their Indian ancestors were slaughtered and their bloodlines polluted by Spaniards looking for gold. To this day, indigenous Indians are treated like second-class citizens.

'Scuse me?

You went back so far that I had to run to my research books.

It's a good thing.

By the way, oh great and respected jewelry maker, while I was on vacation, I bought a piece that was made up of alternating elongated silver beads, red glass beads and black stones that were magnetic. The piece was a 36-inch long strand and because the black stones were magnetic, it could be formed into bracelets, necklaces and anything else the wearer could imagine. Have you ever heard of that? Where could I find out more about it?
