If you had access to a time machine, to which era would you travel?

[terrya]

The past or the future?

I'd go back to the latter part of the 18th century in America...I'd like to see what America was like as it was becoming an independent country. A real life history lesson.

You?

1. Definitely the future!

About 2000 years from now. Probably won't be on this planet though. At the rate we're going, it won't be here.

[Bertha Venation]

2. Cool. I'd go back to early-mid 19th Century America.

I want to be a pioneer, living on the prairie. I'd probably be shot by "my own people" for trying to protect the natives, though.

3. last wednesday - that was a good day

I folded laundry all day.

[BOSSHOG]

4. I'd like to go back to about 1910

and spend a few years with my grandfather (whom I was named after) when he was a young boy. He died when I was nine years old and I didn't get the chance to know him as well as I would have liked. He grew up in North Philadelphia. I would really appreciate that opportunity.

5. I wouldn't go very far.

Just back to '76. I'd quit smoking and not get married. That would be good enough.

Woof

[Deja Q]

6. The past.

Late 70s. Change events so Carter, who had warned of the upcoming oil crisis, would get re-elected.

Or maybe late-60s, for the coolness of it all.

[Droopy]

7. I'd go to the future and the past

I'd like to go back to the sixties when Ram Das and Timothy Leary were experimenting with psychoactive drugs and look them up. Maybe be a subject in one of their experiments.

Then I'd like to go 100 years into the future and see how we've faired as far as our looming environmental problems go because, despite all that's going on in the world, I think this issue is going to become one of the most pressing that we have to deal with in the near future.

8. back to 16th century

and cut off the bush weed before it spreads

[InvisibleTouch]

9. The Mesozoic

In a heartbeat. 100 million years into the past is about right for me. No humans.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

10. I'd go back to 1980

and try to warn people about Ronald Reagan. A lot of us suspected what would happen if he got in, but it turned out much worse than we thought.

[Nlighten1]

11. 1963

And armed to the teeth.

[AntiCoup2K4]

12. Probably about the 1920's

...and arrange a meeting with one Prescott Bush. You'll have to use your imagination as to what the agenda of the meeting would be (so I don't get any visits from the SS) but let's just say Junior, Jeb, and Poppy would never have existed and Hitler would have never been bankrolled.

Hence, the world today would be a far better place. And if I had some more time to kill (no pun intended) I would pay a visit to the morons who voted for Prohibition.

13. 92-2000 relive the last good times

[ronnykmarshall]

14. The 1960's

Even though I was born in 1961, I'd like to relive a lot of good times.

AND see the orginal Supremes in concert!!

[kalian]

15. Pre-industrial....

[jus_the_facts]

16. back to the summer o'love first '67 the year I was born..then WOODSTOCK!!!

...in '69...then go into the future to 2012 to see if this Mayan calender :tinfoilhat: stuff has any creedence!! :evilgrin: And I'd like to go back and hang with Thomas Jefferson and pick his brain about his politics!!! :)

[gyopsy]

17. 2050 or so

I'd like to see if man has found an alternative energy source to oil yet.

[DODI]

18. 1930's Hollywood

Myrna Loy, Bill Powell, F. Scott, Hemmingway, Steinbeck, Faulkner, Benchley. What a great place to be!
