Forty-two per cent of the New York Times Magazine’s readers would kill a baby.
That’s what they said. Not just any baby, though. Baby Hitler.
The mag posed the question to its readers and it’s proving a real head-scratcher.
“Dear Reader: Could You Kill a Baby Hitler?” was the actual question.
Now, the use of the word “could” implies that going back in time and murdering baby Adolf is actually a possibility, which at present, it’s not.
So I would prefer the question phrased, “Would you kill baby Hitler?”
So… would you?
Personally, I would probably go back, scoop up little Hitler, rename him Rainbow Moonchild and raise him among Buddhist monks far, far away from Germany.
Reliably, Twitter responded to the ridiculous question superbly.
