if you could time travel to an era and live out the rest of your days
to when would you go?
you could bring your family. but you could not change anything. It would be a toss up between the mid-1950's or the Mid 1840's. the 50's offer the care free days when people gave a crap about other people, and the only big issue facing the US is the cold war, which I know we came out of just fine. and the mid-1840's. The old west. freedom and wide open spaces. |

as far as modern times go...
It would have been awesome to have been a wealthy white man with good looks and a set of smarts back in the late 40's and the 50's. I also would have loved Florida before "the railroad". and the colonial times in Early America also would have been interesting. there are others: like living on a Caribbean or south Pacific island before modernization. of course, for many...the Grand Daddy: living in the middle east when Jesus walked among us. Wow! |

A time when grotesquely overweight women were considered wealthy and attractive. I'd scoop up all the poor skinny girls with low standards.

I'd have to agree. The Fifties were a fun time, other than the Cold and Korean Wars. It was a time of expansion and growth, lots of new innovations. Cars were becoming more than just transportation. Ain't nostalgia great. |

I would take modern-time comforts, conveniences and technology (medical included) with the American spirit, camaraderie and values of the 50s (minus the segregation)

to when would you go? Forward! you could bring your family. Sure … there are the ones I can trust but you could not change anything. That sucks … because a lot needed to be changed. It would be a toss up between the mid-1950's or the Mid 1840's. Neither! the 50's offer the care free days when people gave a crap about other people, and the only big issue facing the US is the cold war, which I know we came out of just fine. That all depends on who you were! and the mid-1840's. The old west. freedom and wide open spaces. Only if I could buy the Land! |

I'd take a lot of cash, go back to the sixties and buy up a bunch of muscle cars. Pickle them, come back to now, and head to Barrett-Jackson.

I think I'd go back to about 1919 and start buying up all the East Texas mineral rights I could get my hands on.
