Time Travel: Save JFK?

What if we could go back in time, what would we do? Many say any little change could set off a series of things that could become undone! You can conceivably bring back in time germs or a virus, currently eradicated, that could wipe out the human race! If you found yourself looking for something in the early 1800's, like the exact spot where the gold rush happened before anyone knew it existed, you would be wealthy and spawn a chain reaction of different wealthy people with the history of the real 49ers completely erased! Those people would most likely be poor and start a whole new way of life not realizing that they were robbed! Every new turn would lead to a different paradox that may have eliminated the existence of some famous people or even leaders that we know of Today. President Roosevelt's parents may have never met because of the shift in events and we may have lost World War II either to Japan or Germany! The further back in time you travel, the chances are you can wipe out the existence of many events through a chain of virtual uncreation! You may even wipe yourself from existence by changing the way your great-great-great-great-great-great Grandparents met! Step on an ant today and it may not mean much. If you were to step on an ant while going back in time 6 million years ago, you could have destroyed a whole new species of ants that gave rise to another and another and another that would have been the food chain for a species of animal that may have given rise to another species and another and another etc... I love time Travel movies as they perplex these thoughts and the question of "What would I do if I could go back in time?" Would I have stopped the assassination of JFK or watch it unfold before my eyes and see who really killed our 35th President? By stopping the assassination, my own name may have been altered instantaneously as the very second of his death passed with his life going forward!
