Oof!

I have on a couple of occasions in the past quoted Miles O'Brien 
in "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" when he got involved in a time 
travelling situation and, in conversation with his future self, 
said: "I hate Temporal Mechanics".

I think that I am going to put this one in the same category as time-
turning and say "I hate Prophecy Analysis".

:-(

Thought:What we really ought to do is send someone back via a Time-
turner and give Tom Riddle a good smacking....... It would solve all 
these irritating problems.
