    It is not only the story with Hunter, it is also his style of writing.

    Yes but everybody knows that. You don't read Thompson for a ordinary boring news article.
    You read him to read a wild, ironic and brutally insane story.

    Id bring John Lennon and show him how messed up the world is. Itd also be fun to bring back Edison and take him to an electronics store.

    Thomas Jefferson to let him see what America has done to his Constitution.

    Earl Warren to lead the Supreme Court back to the path of progress.

    Henry David Thoreau to travel with.

    Timothy Leary to trip with.

    Adolf Hitler (I'd force him) to hold world-wide internationally-televised press conferences on the parallels between himself of the Nazi era and Bush of today.

    Karl Marx: it would interesting how he would analyze today's society and how he will react to modern sociology and econmics. I'll ask him to write another treatise... he probably will

    Marx saw himself as analysing human history... what if he was witness to more of it? Would he change his views, now that capitalism isn't likely to be overthrown violently.

    Albert Einstien: So he could make even more progresses in physics

    wow i never knew he could do that..

    davinci is my hero.. he was so amazing.. id want to bring him back, smoke some weed with him, and talk about our ideas on things, learn a thing or two from him, maybe teach him some things to take back wherever he goes.

    but where do you learn things like this 'grip strength'? id love that.. i often push my hands grips to the limit whereby they hurt... but i cant get that far with it..is it one of those 'mind over matter' things or a technique and actual physical strength?



    ps. wow is it just me or is there a page 6 with no posts on it in this thread?

    I'd bring Lincoln, so I could shoot that paranoid, death obsessed, backwoods, usurper and caesar myself right after I showed him how poopy the country has gotten since he set the precedent for a governments abuse of power and neglect for constitutional law

    I'd bring back Mama Cass from the Mamas and the Papas, just to hang with her for a while, I think she was so beautiful. I know it's been mentioned before, but I have always felt a connection when I read Emily Dickinson, so I'd like to talk to her too.

    I'd show him how right he was, and get him to make a speech, to help us, if he wanted to.

    You do not read much history do you (grin). Women have never been uptight they have just been more or less oppressed.

    I would bring back the Marx Brothers and appoint them to the Supreme Court. Probably would need them longer than just one afternoon.

    I would bring back all religious people that persicuted scientists for saying the earth was round or that said the earth revolved around the sun. Then I would show them all that they were wrong not the scientists, then burn them at the stake.
