    where in history i belong is on an alternative timeline where the roman empire never happened. where minoen crete and celtic western europe became the centers of leadership in that part of the world and also developments in far asia and the western hemisphere fallowed slightly different paths of develpment as well. where even africa developed it's iron smithing by peaceful incentives.

    then perhapse i couldhave wouldhave been the equivelant of a cross between agricola and leonardo, only with better, if still modest fortune. or simply an inconspicuous agriculturalist, with a head for gizmology and how things actually work ism.

    something a bit of a hermit, befriended by a goddess who protects the haunted forrest in which he lives, surrounded and companioned by her little furry minnions.

    as for the way this planet is going, it is going no differently then our collective priorities create incentives for it to. all this brutalizing of human society IS something we could all be contributing less to the market for it to occur. but it does take a bit more doing our thinking then just not wishing harm and immagining that if everyone else didn't they would somehow clean up their act and none of the rest of us would have to.

    I've always wanted to live in the 19th century. But as a woman that would be difficult. Maybe I'd go back as Emily Bronte.

    lol! my husband and i have actually had a debate about this and we thought we'd love to live from the late 1950's to the middle part of the 1970's. A lot of things that we are both into happened in that time.

    I'd like to be born in 1948 so I could experience the 1950s and 1960s. I guess I'd like to stay the same person...

    This might sound a bit insane, but I almost want to say that I'd like to have been born in the early 20's, so I could have fought in WWII. I think I've seen "Band of Brothers" one too many times. On a more upbeat note, that time was also when the hot rodding and custom car movement began to really emerge, and I'd have loved to be a part of that.

    Probably though the late 40's would have been a great time to be born for me. I would have really liked to come of age in the late 50's and 60's. It seems like that would have been a great time to be alive, I get the feeling that life was much simpler back then. And being able to take part in the whole 60's car culture would have been great. I'd have definitely been driving a GTO or Chevelle, and hitting the drag strip every weekend.

    As many would probably say, I would like to have lived in the 60s/70s. Be a teenager in the 60s and my twenties during the 70s. I think the whole vibe of it was amazing. Yet if I really did live there, would I be the same? Would I care to join in with the Summer of love hippies? It's strange but to think about it, I liked the outcome of the 60s culture, but I think living it would maybe destroy the dreams. However, it would be nice to travel back in time just to have a glimpse of this life I would love to live.

    The best times of my life were still the 60's-70's as a teenager.

    You could get high just by listening to your local underground radio station late at night play Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, etc at their prime...

    That was also the time I was introduced to the Hare Krishna's. I don't regret anything I did back then, in fact, I missed it, and if I could go back in time, it would be late 60's Woodstock 1969 to early 70's.

    Yeah, you can say, my mind was stuck in the hippie generation. I guess, it was some weed... LOL.

    The idealism of the 60's is still very much with me, and I hope it will carry on to my children.
    Peace.

    Time is an illusion, the only time is now...jk. I'd go back to the mid to late 90s. When the world was at relative peace as far as the average American was concerned, my Yankees won the world series every year, and life was so good that we were worried about what face our president chose to bust a nut on.

    haha same as most other people on here i guess, 60's through early 70's in san fransisco. not just cause of the drugs and the hippy movement, but also because of how much was happening in the world at this time! it would be awesome to go see grateful dead, jimmi hendrix, janis joplin and all the good music from back then, and to be part of the acid tests and stuff. it would be amazing

    If you had to force me into one time period, it'd be the 60's. I wouldn't want to be anywhere but now though. The internet may be our last chance to break free from thousands of years of foolish mistakes and vicious cycles with the human spirit and the environment taking a bigger and bigger pounding each year.

    At least now there is a glimmer of hope and there is the comforting fact that no one knows how it will end up in the future. We all know how things turned out 30, 40, 50, 100 or more years ago. Same cake, different frosting. But with an unseen future, there is magic and beauty in the potential.

    You know, I think as long as the few control the many, it's gonna be like this. At least with the internet, we can raise awareness for all people slightly and bridge the gap between the elite and the masses a little.

    I would go back to the mid 60's. I would go to many concerts, I never even had a chance to do in my life. (Jimi Hendrix, Guess Who, The Doors, and Iron Butterfly would be top priority.) The concerts are just a portion of why I would go to that time.
