If you could talk to any person, living or dead, whom would you talk to? And what would you two talk about?

I'd talk to Benjamin Franklin. We both have a keen interest in science, are both humanists (agnostics) and liberals, and I'm sure we'd have some great conversations.

WellTraveledProg... Benjamin Franklin believed in God... or we wouldn't have the Constitution worded the way it is.
I'd talk to... my real self. The Self I'm supposed to be, and ask how and when I would become that person. I'd talk about anything and everything, and nothing.

LIving or dead... I would talk to my dead self to find out my mistakes in life and avoid them. Use that knowledge for all sorts of things, gambling on sports, the right "one" for love, natural disasters to watch out for... as well as predict them and claim to be the new messiah, all sorts of things to talk about.

I'd talk to my wife's now dead grandfather. He was very active during WW2 and must have had loads of stories to tell. He was a very quiet and unassuming man with a fascinating past and I wish I had taken more time to get to know him.

George Orwell (eric blair). We'd talk about the fears he had when he was alive - namely, about totalitarian government and the fall of democracy in and the rise of socialism in America.

I'd talk to Gandhi, because I'd like to learn by first hand the message of living with no violence in your life.
I'd also love to talk to Leonardo Da Vinci, because he was one of the most creative men who have ever existed.
What about you??

the one i'd want to talk to is GOD, but i'd be ok if i get a chance to talk to either Jesus Christ or Prophet Muhammad. I really want to know, y, if god created the world, did he give it so much of sadness and misery. y did he make man so insensitive, so crass and so violent. y does He not remove sadness from the world??
