| | I am kind of surprised how many people chose American political figures, althought they are all good choices, I'd frankly be embarrassed to have them find out what kind of mega-state we have today. I suppose Lincoln would have been the least upset to learn of present conditions. But could you imagine telling Franklin (who has, by the way, always been my favorite founding father) or Jefferson about our current political state? I guess that at least with Lincoin and the others we would have much more common ground.
I figured somebody would complain I left out Newton. I hear he was pretty much an asocial mysanthrope anyway, so I put in Galileo Galilei instead. But I figured more people would have wanted to speak with ancient scientists, (e.g., Archimedes) statesmen, (e.g., Cicero) or philosophers (e.g., Thales) than they have.
