What world famous individual would you bring back from the dead?

[GURUving]

My choices: John Lennon or Mr. Rogers.

[arcane1]

1. Carl Sagan

:(

[mndemocrat_29]

2. Alfred Hitchcock, Emily Bronte, and Christopher Wren

[Robb]

3. JFK

God, I'd like to see Jack run.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

17. That immediately popped into my head...

Didn't even think about it. God, I really wish he would have lived.
Duckie

[kanrok]

21. Ditto

Geez. did I really type the word "ditto?"

[YellowRubberDuckie]

36. Nothing wrong with Ditto

[Military Brat]

4. Benjamin Franklin

A man whose world vision was timeless.

[Catshrink]

27. That was my first thought...

he was such an interesting man....

[corarose]

5. Charles Dickens "What was it like in England when you wrote your books"?

I want to ask him about his writings and the family line.

[Mikimouse]

6. Oswald, so that we could finally find out from him what he thought

his assignment from the CIA actually was supposed to be.

[soothsayer]

7. Jesus, cuz he's whup the asses of most "Christians" and set the whole

thing straight.

I suspect alot of so-called Christians would HATE Jesus if they saw him---prolly too liberal, LOL!

[JVS]

15. But Christ is already risen

[liberalmuse]

8. Jesus...

if he ever even existed in the first place.

[Democrats unite]

9. Great news!

Thanks for posting.

[wtmusic]

10. Abe Lincoln

Apparently he had a very squeaky voice which is hard to imagine given his size. He'd have a few things to say about the current state of affairs.

[jus_the_facts]

11. Thomas Jefferson and Jimi Hendrix..........

.....Jefferson because I'd like for him to tell all the FReepers why separation of church and state REALLY MEANS AND WHY IT'S SO IMPORTANT!:eyes:

....and Jimi....well jus 'cuz! :loveya:

[Kat45]

12. Frank Zappa

I'd love to hear what he'd have to say right about now.

[Drifter]

43. Thank you ....

with the 10th anniversary, it sure would be great to hear what he had to say (or better yet play).

You can bet (even though he hated touring at the end) that he would put all of his crap in a truck and start another GOTV tour.

Music is the BEST.

Cheers
Drifter

[mitchum]

13. Hitler...so I could kill him...

resurrection has to be easier than that whole going-back-in-time thing

[AlienGirl]

39. Or you could just...

...kick his ass and openly make fun of him. Or have Skittles kick his ass!

Tucker (still anti-death-penalty)

[Skittles]

42. I see a lot of similarities in Hitler supporters

and the blind followers of the Reich Wing now. There's a lot of asses that need major kicking.

[SiobhanClancy]

14. FDR...

time for a fifth term:)

[Bozola]

16. Joseph Goebbels so K-K-Karl Rove won't be lonely anymore.

[neuvocat]

18. Young Rita Hayworth.

Man was she ever a hottie!

[MrScorpio]

19. Damn, Sinatra was lucky

When he had a piece of THAT!!

[Faygo Kid]

32. So was Orson Welles

He married her. Yeah, she was a firecracker.

[VOX]

20. Lou Costello, and if possible, Bud Abbott.

Lou was a *very* nice man, loved people and kids.

If Bud could come back, too, I'd love to see/hear their "Who's On First?" and "Susquehanna Hat Company" bits in person.

[nuxvomica]

24. You've got a lotta nerve mentioning that company

:grr:

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

22. Charlie Chaplin

He would lampoon dumbya and eat him alive






"I am not a Communist; neither have I ever joined any political party or organization in my life.  I am what you call a peace-monger."
—Chaplin's reply to the House Un-American Activities Committee's inquiries about his politics.

[kodi]

25. buddy holly

[Coventina]

26. Gandhi

[BlackVelvetElvis]

41. Oh yeah

Goat boy would be spewing right now.

[OneBlueSky]

29. Louis Armstrong . . .

just so I could toke up with him and listen to him talk for a few hours or days . . . be nice if he could blow a bit, too . . . :)

[Faygo Kid]

30. Harry Truman - He would give 'em Hell

No more Daschles. Ol' Harry would nail these Republicans, and make 'em like it!

[Bertha Venation]

33. Yep. Truman. Harry'd just tell 'em the truth and they'd think it's hell.

What politician do we have now who would do that?

Have you read David McCullough's Truman? The ultimate biography. The best bio, one of the best books, I've ever read. Pulitzer prize winner.

[Faygo Kid]

35. You are so right. Yes, a great book, a great Democrat.

Never backpedaled; said we MUST have a progressive government. Faults? Sure. But, can you imagine him rolling over for Bush, like the current Dem leadership does? Would never even consider it. Nor would FDR. Damn. We need that today.

[Flaxbee]

37. The man who OK'd the atomic bombs on civilians?

I hope he's burning in hell for all eternity. Ain't nothing that man did that could ever atone for Hiroshima and Nagasaki...

[ACK]

31. RFK, JFK, FDR and MLK

All the other Dems and libs immediately identified by their initials.

[piece sine]

34. Leonardo da Vinci

the world's best gay guy.

[sleepyhead]

38. Phil Ochs

Curious to see what he'd have to say about the current situation.

[AlienGirl]

40. Phil Ochs!!

Yes...and Kurt Cobain, Alice Sheldon, Dorothy Parker, and John Lennon...

Tucker

[soupkitchen]

45. He'd say love me, love me, love me I'm a Liberal, and I Ain't Marching

Anymore. And he'd say the Marines have landed on on the shores of the Tigris River. And then he'd go out and get drunk and get into bar fights and hang himself. That's why we love Phil. He just couldn't take the complacency anymore.

[Richardo]

44. Mark Twain for me...

No doubt or question.

[HEyHEY]

46. I was gonna say johnny Cash

But I'll go with Martin Luther King jr.

[Khephra]

47. Timothy Leary

[ronnykmarshall]

48. Florence Ballard

So she could get Diana Ross and Mary Wilson together to have a true Supremes reunion.

[thebeaglehaslanded]

49. Napoleon.

[UrbScotty]

50. FDR or JFK.

Maybe Washington, Jefferson, or Madison, swo they can tell Dubya how to be President.

Madison came up with many of the ideas included in the Constitution, such as checks and balances. I would just LOVE to see him confront Dubya.

[beyurslf]

51. MLK, Jr. I would love to see what he might have done. n/t

[beyurslf]

52. MLK, Jr. I would love to see what he might have done. n/t

All that beauty and talent. How can he be gone?
