If you could have been born in any period

of history or prehistory (whatever that is), what would it be?

I'm partial to the periods with maximum autonomy: the old west and the stone age, for example.
What will arrive first? Peak Oil or the Second Coming? My money is now on the latter.

If you mean, what period would I, in this body, want to be born in, I'd have to say "this one" otherwise I'd be dead or extremely miserable.

If I could have been born a man, with a strong,healthy body and mind, I would choose the colonial era in America, so I could be a mountain man or go live with the indians.

Hierarchy and beauracracy suffocate me.

I yearn to be free!

I am a free spirit, doncha know!?

During all the advances of the oil age instead of the end of the oil age. The end sucks. The advances were cool.

I never understood the appeal of the Star Trek vision. Has there ever been a tree or even a blade of grass shown in a Star Trek episode or movie?


PS I am enjoying this respite as Specop sleeps. He stayed up all night last night just so that he could have the last post in our flame war.
