I agree with what you're saying. I got caught up in the greatness of the ability of time travel that I forgot about the Human condition. Also I considered that if everyone was able to time travel there would more than likely be conflict in what people chose to alter or re-create and ultimately end in disaster. Neverless I do feel that you are placing a stigmatic perspective on time travel itself and making it seem futile. Many people have missed oppotunities in their lives or said and done things they've later regretted, given the chance to go back and re-approach an experience is the first thought on their minds, the outcomes could be truly brilliant, even if it was like someone saving their marriage or waking up in time to get to that interview which could lead to a prosperous life. There can be a very long list of small things like these that could have dramatic effects on society and inturn the whole environment as we know it, for the better. Just something to consider. People come across as wittless and destructive because we're all pretty much new to this, always learning, but I do believe that given the opportunity to go back and right a wrong can't be wrong. Peace Al.
