Let's just start with the Holocaust, the Spanish Inquisition, and the genocide reported in the Bible...just as a starter.

The evil outweighs the good.

According to Thomas Hobbes, life is nasty, brutish, and short.

I don't know who Thomas Hobbes is I'll look it up but according to me life can also be wonderful,a blessing and worthy for looking into the potential good in people.

I do not deny that that there is a potential for bad,but to look at the cup as half full not just half empty.

It basicly is a non question since it is impossible.

Do I wish he was killed? Yes, I would have had a big family and the money that my family earned with their businesses would have stayed in our family and my mom would have been an orphan at the age of 7!!!

To me the issue is more" What can we do to prevent it from happening again?" It will happen again in a different way and IMO it is already starting in Europe!

Freedom of speech is vanishing in many European countries because people are scared. We have seen what happened when the economy goes down and people start to believe in "hope and change" which is nothing more like hot air and they talk about it like it is something life changing. People are open for crazy people like Hitler and other hate preaching persons like Obama's rev., this is just the beginning of the same thing just a little different , but when Hitler started he didn't tell he wanted the kews dead he started to preach hate and the rest came later........................

Nah, I would not kill Hitler because a "super-Hitler" might arise and take over the world. At least in this reality we know this is not the case. To change it can have profound implications and uncertainty. You can trade one bad event for another really really bad event. It can't get much worse in this reality but to kill him in another reality can cause the end of mankind, something I rather not try to do.

Vaccinations, flush toilets, soup kitchens, foreign aid when it's not stolen by dictators, and countless random acts of kindness which we can all come up with a few personal examples of.

Oh, and let's not forget that the vast majority of people are able to live their lives without committing genocide or other henious crimes.
