$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('MrBill', 'O')kay, just to pi$$ Byron100 off, I have decided to go back 1000 years ago, and found a brand new world religion based on fiscal conservatism, social liberalism, libertarian principles and sound economics.

In the context of its time it will have no competition, so it will be the most successful religion of all time, and then man can finally live sustainably in his natural environment adjusting his demands to available supply, while observing responsible reproduction strategies. I'll call it the Church of MrBill.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('kpeavey', '1')800 in the area of Washington County Maine.
Energy was wood and horses.
Transportation was limited to sea travel as there were no roads connecting the settlement to the rest of the world.
Localized economy, but money was not needed, it was neighbor helping neighbor.
Good soil, ample game.
Politically stable.
Healthy, independent people.

Except for asphalt roads and electricity, the place has not really changed that much.

')Nah, you didn't piss me off...I got a good laugh instead

I just hope your new religion has the capability of stamping out greed and the the innate desire to have more, more, more...otherwise, we'd have reached full industrialization by the year 1500, tech age by 1750 and Peak Oil soon after. By 2007, we'd be well into the post fossil-fuel era...hehe.

Mmmm, maybe that wouldn't be such a bad idea after all...we'd learned the Big Lesson sooner, rather than later....

Thanks!

I would choose to be a student of Michelangelo,
or a craftman of fine swords in feudal japan,
or on a team of discoverers of continents,
or a comrade of Alexander or Leonidas,or Odysseus.
a student of Aristotle,or Confucius.

or a playtoy for the priestesses of Delphi.

The problem with the past is the poor state of medicine and sanitation which leads to short life expectancies. That plus much more frequent wars.

How many pockets of history were truly idyllic? Minoan Crete? Maybe some island people in the pacific?

[spear]

Thats alright.Let me be the priestess playtoy and I,ll die a happy man.lol

Go back to 1900 and buy the north east oilfields of texas.
Then don't drill them.

We would have to be limited to some degree.

Scenario A:

1847 in San Francisco, California

Get filthy rich, become the first governor of California, and lobby for the conquest of all of Mexico (and Canada too, why not?)

The map of the USA would extend from the Arctic Circle to the Aztec Pyramids.

Not sure why, just might make for an interesting twist on world history.

Scenario B:

1955 in San Francisco, California

I was born well after the whole hippie thing ended. Might be fun to see it first hand.

At the anvil there is no future, no past, just now and peace.

I find the late 19th and early 20th century fascinating. So I'd like to be born in, say 1865 and in a rich family so that I can spend my life travelling the world and seeing it change

35 million AD-


I would want to be inside a petting zoo for super advanced nuclear powered aliens(or later evolved creatures on this planet).

They could use their advanced technology to keep me alive indefinitely, and provide me with an ultra sexy clone mate they made for me.

Their goal would be to produce more of my kind in captivity and to study me extensively, as well as ask me questions about my primitive civilization.

They would keep me in a holodeck with all the food and water I could possibly want, a Hawaiian type environment, with alien veternarians who would check on my health regularly, and use their technology to regenerate my body as needed.

I'd come out six hours a day to perform tricks for them, for food and sex, and put on live sex shows so that alien parents could say "ooo, look kids, were witnessing the rare mating act of Homo Sapien Sapien", but in an alien language.

I would answer about questions concerning my past, and what I saw during the 21st century.

Now hows that for an idealic situation?
