anyone with a time machine must take the responsibility that altering the past has major effects on present - that includes even bringing back a cold !!

Its the butterfly effect - go back to the dinosaurs era - step on a butterfly and kill it. that butterfly could have been the meal that is much needed for a bird - that was the meal much needed for a man and his tribe to eat. The butterfly dies, the bird dies, the men die ... changing the fact they cant produce children - therefore altering a whole nation - maybe even wiping one out

You get my drift timeboy??
Yeah, that was on an episode of The Simpsons, and its what Doc always told Marty McFly. I don't see what it has to do with the existence of a time machine or not though.
