Hang in there, LRB. It's tough losing a friend... but at least he's at a better place now.

Back in topic: I would go back to when I was 18 and do all the things I was too chicken to do.

I'd go back to the middle ages, form an army and arm them with heavy machine guns, jet fighters and tanks. Then I'd roll my army through Western Europe, build myself a palace, and staff it with hundreds of 18 year old virgins.

man, it's hard to narrow it down to one time period...

Choices I'd like to do over:
1) attend a different college
2) change my major

I guess i couldn't control other things..

Some friends and I would go back to the predawn hours of 9/11/01, hang out at Logan, Newark, and Dulles airports, and do a little preemption on a particular group of 19 passengers before they board.

Do I get to keep this time machine? Cuz that's just chapter one....

I'd go way back and have a sit down with JC and set the record strait. I'd visit a couple of other historic figures of that genre and set the record strait with them as well.

That's a pretty tough question. Like most people, I'd like to go back and spend more time with lost loved ones. On the other hand, if I could only go back ONCE, maybe the right thing to do would be to go back and prevent some disaster - like Pearl Harbor or 9/11 or the Kennedy assassination.

the question should be....would you really be a happier person, more contented, filled with joy?

I alway find man's question of changing the past amazing....if the past could be changed you would not be yourself(and even though many may think that a positive thought, it is our past that shapes us...)
there ary many things in my past that have greatly hurt me, and at the time i would have done anything to not go through that pain....but I am who I am becuase I've been where I've been, and I happen I am who I am for a reason that is bigger than my own individuality..there is purpose....*with that said*.......I'd knock off madape and steal all his chicks!
