Yes, I would love to live in any century as long as it doesn't negate my present life. I happen to love life, and no matter where I have lived, and how much I have lost, I still enjoy life. Even now looking back to my youth when the James River was wild, and the banks were natural barriers to the sea, not built upon and jettied for erosion, I see much more utopian delights than I do here in now. So I believe the further back I go, the more lovely this whole earth becomes, regardless of the wreckage left by man, hurricanes, floods, tornados, volcanic eruptions, etc. I would like to meet whoever was worthy of meeting, but I have never idolized real people. Maybe fictional characters would be on a list, and the top would be Captain Nemo. If it were to be a real person, it would be for a necessary reason. And not being aware of any circumstance giving me cause, I can't say. I don't think just a friendly stop in for a chat would be good enough for these era proven men and women. There is a short story up north from the 18th century about a man there being visited by a devil, and it is a well-known story, yet I can't remember its source at the moment. Just bringing in an analogy. [edited].
