Red pill or White pill...

Just give me Warren Buffett for 20 minutes or so. A few wire transfers from his petty cash into my account, and I'll be set. Someone else can kill Hitler and Stalin.

OTOH, if I were to take the red pill, I think I'd take out Jesus (assuming he existed, but that's another thread) before he had a following. And I'd remember. Why take out a few apples when you can upset the entire applecart?

OK, already! I'll take the white pill then and be my Momster for a week. I'll have her rescind the insane power of attorney she gave her evil EX husband, demand to see her only daughter, tell the authorities that the evil ex has been holding her a psychological hostage all this time; write her twin sister in Switzerland that she hasn't spoken to in 15 years and tell her that all is forgiven and beg her forgiveness in return.

This should impact the lives of altogether about 10 people in a positive way and one who richly deserves it in a negative way, have no impact what-so-ever on the course of history, and involve the death of no one.

Its also a rather selfish use of my magical powers, but what the hey?

That's OK, we Harry Potter fans would understand perfectly
