[CountryGent]

One for the fun; if you could spend a decent amount of time talking to one historical figure, who would it be, and why? What would you ask him or her?

Enjoy!

Damn...Just one...?

The Gun guy in me would want to talk to Theodore Roosevelt...and we'd talk guns and hunting...

The History guy in me would talk to Harold Godwinson and give him some advice about September and October 1066....

The Book guy in me would talk with J.R.R. Tolkien...since he wrote 'bout Hobbits and such...I'd guess it would be "small talk"...

Edit to add....
The Music guy in me would want to talk to Jimmy Page and we talk Gibson's and Led Zeppelin of course.
The Art Guy in me would talk with Frank Frazetta....'cause he was so damn cool....

I would like to talk to the guy who wrote the 2nd amendment and tell him to write it so a 5-year old could understand it.

Any citizen can own any damm weapon they want and carry it whenever and however they want and any government person, agency or whatever that tries to take that away shall be drawn and quartered, which is to say tortured horribly until they die, screaming for their mommy. The end, no changies, no takebacks, forever and ever.
