Time machine...which destination would you like?

Poll question: Time machine...which destination would you like?

[gyopsy]

1. The future

Although all the options look tempting, you've gotta go into the future to see if the U.S. still exists. 23rd century might be a little too distant for me however. Maybe thirty years into the future at first.

2. Would like to get 50 DUers on a Time Machine

And go back to November 22, 1963, Dallas, Texas in Dealey Plaza, around 11:30 AM.

Perhaps history could be changed.

7. Great minds thimk alike!

[Best_man23]

10. If that happened, I just hope 50 would be enough

[SiobhanClancy]

8. I'd give anything if that could happen

:(

3. Nice places, all - but -

no air conditioning? No computers? No ice cream or pizza? :-(

4. November 22, 1963, Dallas, Texas, Behind the Fence...

We're also invisible, right?

[Cha]

5. I was just thinking today how I would like to go back in time

when our Country wasn't polluted!

6. Memphis, circa 1967

So I could attend a concert featuring Otis Redding, Sam & Dave, James Carr, Eddie Floyd, Booker T. & The MGs, and Rufus and Carla Thomas, among others.

9. send me bak to when the first roach sprang up

11. 19th Century US, if I was at least upper middle class

I would have loved being in 1930's Hollywood!!

14. Roaring Twenties

Electricity

No income tax

Blues, jazz developing

No traffic jams unless a bunch of horses hit an intersection at once

Women's suffrage has just been passed; basically liberal times....no McCarthyism, no Patriot Act

Plenty of elbow room, and the environment and forests haven't yet been completely plundered

No genetically modified food, no cloned food

No AIDS, no SARS. No HMOs. No co-pays and no deductibles. Doctors make house calls.

No stupid TV. No TV.

Probably no telemarketing.

18. no patriot act?

Tell that to Eugene Debs and others who were persecuted/prosected for opposing WWI.

[gyopsy]

12. What about November 2000?

If DUers could go back in time to election day could anything be changed somehow? I doubt it but it's interesting nevertheless.

13. the past is icky (no hygiene, plenty o'disease, no plumbing)

Ok, maybe ancient Rome or Greece. Might be cool to hang out with the Estrusans, too. Very progressive, with sexy clothes.

[BurtWorm]

15. Ancient Rome

if I didn't have to stay longer than it took to learn Latin and see for myself what the hell happened to the Roman Republic. Wouldn't want to be around for the Empire, though. Just around 50 BCE.

[Dookus]

16. Feb. 13th, 1960... Berlin....

at the Ella Fitzgerald concert.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

17. I want to see dinosaurs...

That would be too cool.

19. 1974

I could do very well in the stock market as well as "betting" on pro sports. Also I could cause the early arrest of Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, Ted Kacyzinski, Oliver North, Dylan Clebold, and Tim McVeigh. I could save John Lennon's life, and so on.
