wow just thinking about this ? is starting to make me cry....there are many packages I'd like to send to the past, to help ease the pain i felt or in-flicked on others. but if i had that option. i would not be who i am today.but thinking on that again... i would have definitely sent one to my 4 1/2 yr old son before he died. the contents would be a recording of his favorite book...so in his last hour he would have heard something he loved. i wasn't there w/ him only once, for about an hour. because i had to go and get him a few things from home. I've regretted ever since. or maybe if it would be o.k. i could just send myself.......

Hi! If it is possible to send a package to the future and the recipient knew it was from their future, I'd send the package to Nihilists full of books about "The Meaning of Life" to make them laugh; to Existentialistists explaining time travel to give them something to chew on (for if time travel were possible then what does that suggest about existence?); and to H.G. Wells to send him reviews of his books well into my lifetime along with some other time travel books and a list of my philosophic questions about the ethics of changing the course of events that happened in the past.

I would go back in time to Hitlers age right before he became chancellor. In the package id send him some crude pics of the destruction he caused and a bomb. Im not really a violent person and i wouldnt want the bomb to kill him just scare him out of the country or something. Id also like to send Brittany Spears a package of condoms and a note reminding the idle minded not to have kids. lol!!!!!!

You would send this package to yourself to insure its arrival (if it is to the future). Alternately to a nationally known organization, or to a certain person past or present. You may want to include a note explaining why you are doing this, and the current date and location from which you are sending this package and if possible, to locate you to say it had arrived.

Wow that is one the best questions I've ever heard.

I would send a package with a letter to my best friend's father who didn't like his job so he moved his entire family to another state away from their friends I would tell him in the letter that he wouldn't like his new job (he doesn't) and that his family loves where they were.

I would send a package to my grandfather who died before I was born with a letter telling him how hard it is having never meet him and how I will always hope to see him if I make it to heaven. I'd also in close things from my life so he could know what I am like.

I would send a package with a letter to my best friend's deceased mother years before she was diagnosed begging her to get checked for cancer. In hopes that she would not die a such a young age.

There are so many other things I would want to send. Like I said this is one of the best questions I've ever been asked.

I would send a package to myself warning me of some of the things that have happened in my life and what to look out for..so that maybe, I wouldn't live through some of the grief I have had to endure...then, I would send a package to myself for the future...same thing...
I know that all our life experiences help to make us who we are...but had I known ahead of time some of the @#$$ I would have to live through, maybe I would stop and take the time to make things a little better...for me and the world.
My second choice would be to send packages to the Jewish people about Hitler and the World Trade Center telling those people to call in sick that day....

I would first assemble a written compilation of all technical advances in the last 500 years, assamble an aramic version of Hooked on Phonics, label the volume of books as the Tree of Knowledge, and send it 5767 years in the past to Adam and Eve, just before they were convinced by Satan to partake of the forbidden.

This way, one of two things will happen.....

1 - Adam and Eve become too distracted to even pay attention to Satan.

2 - They pay attention to Satan anyway, then to "make up" for their mistake, they put the new knowledge to use.

Either way, after 5767 years of technologial advancement, imagine where we would be.

Of course, I'm not accounting for the possibility that they could look at the book as an enormous roll of TP.......

I would send Nietzsche a book of his own works complied with no meddling from his anti-semetic sister to show him that at least some people are no longer under the misaprehension that he would have been pro-nazi. I think he would like to know that there would come a time when he would be a little more understood and not mistaken for someone else.

I would send a package to all the people in my past that have died..a package telling them to make it right with God just in case they are not, so I can see them in Heaven.

I would send a couple of books with modern literature to Jane Austen - and some fashion magazines. I'm sure she'd love that. And a letter to tell her that her books are still extremely popular after 300 years :)

Or a ticking package to Hitler, in 1935. To Stalin as well.
Some books about contraception and a history of communism and its crimes to Lenin's mother.

Or I would send a long, long letter to my uncle, many years before he died. Tell him to go to the doctor, check his health thoroughly... i wonder if it would make difference in case of cancer... or just to let him know how much I love him, and how incredibly hard is not having him, even after all these years, for all these years...
