It is better to be prepared, than to be suprised.
I'm pro choice: I choose to hunt, trap, eat meat, and wear fur.

talk about some fascinating reading
assuming I could read whatever languages that stuff was written in
I'd go back to the writing of the Constitution and add the phrase "or get your * kicked" to most of the Amendments[;)]

I'm going to be in Dodge City this weekend and could swing through Fort Hays,,, need me to pick up a souveneir(just how in the * do you spell souvenier?[:(!]) toothpick holder or sumpin???[;)][;)]
While watching westerns I've wondered about the 'going back in time thing',,,and I have come to the conclusion that,,,if,, I lived back then,,I would be DEAD NOW,,, so I'll leave well enough alone!![;)]
,,,sod[:)]
But, anyhoo, I think I'd like to travel back to:
-December 6, 1941
-The day the constitution was written up, specifically the 2nd amendment and rewrite it so that it was unmistakeable in it's intent, even to liberal scumbags.
-New Mexico/Manhatten Project. Expose those who sold our nuclear secrets to the soviets and blow their brains out.
-Korean War. Convince Truman to let McArthur do what he needed to do to win that war. I see the firing of McArthur as the beginning of our current situation of being whipped in int'l politics and war. Since then we've been weak. IMHO

I would warn all of our forefathers to stop bringing in slaves, as one day they will be free, and then become the scourge of the country

I have often thought how it would be to go back about 500 years to the area I now live in and have some modern survival gear and just spend a week exploring and looking for familiar landmarks.
We are living in an era that many in the past, where they able to see us, would give a fortune wherein to live. If the world last another 200 or so years there will be those wishing they could come back here to be a variety of occupations. We who are presently captured in this bubble of time should just make the best of it, enjoy the short time we have to be here, and be a good steward of what we have to work with. If the footprint I leave here points someone toward the narrow road to Heaven I will be one happy camper. Just my thoughts.[blue]

Well, I like it here just fine ...career, guns, lady. I'll man the portal for your return.
My mission is to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.
I'd like to go back about 1,975 years or so, give or take a year, to the southeastern end of the Mediterranean Sea. Like to look up a certain Nazarene,the son of a carpenter but working as an itinerant preacher, just to hear what he had to say about stuff.
