If you could meet anyone in history, who would it be and why?

I would meet Jesus Christ and ask him the meaning of Life. Why? There has been more ink and blood spilled than any other historical figure in history.

Jean Luis Batastite the slave owner of 1/2 of my people. I would like to ask him how could he enslave people after he /himself was once a slave. He had everything taken from him and forced out of his own country and into slavery.

I would like to meet Signalman First Class Douglas A. Munro U.S. Coast Guard. He was awarded the the Congressional Medal of Honor during WWII at Guadalcanal.

Benjamin Franklin. I've admired him greatly since I was a kid. He was good at so many things - writer, inventor, scientist, statesman, diplomat - and a flirt/womanizer as well. He was such a colorful character that I would love to just sit there and listen to the stories of his life.

It would be Albert Einstein. I would like to explore the thinking process of this genius. What was his motivation to pursue his theories of Special and General Relativity? On what basis did he reject Quantum Theory with its emphasis on probability not withstanding his famous statement, "God does not play play dice with the universe." He surrounded himself with equally brilliant colleagues, such as Neils Bohr and Erwin Schrodinger, who he obviously respected. Despite their efforts, particularly Neils Bohr who refuted Einstein's objections, he was unable to accept their explanations of Quantum Theory a theory that went on to become the most successfully applied concept in all of Physics. I would also ask him what got him started to take up the violin. But most of all I would enjoy listening to him expounding on any other topic that piqued his interest.

I would like to meet Maya Angelou. She epitomizes grace, virtue, and strength. She wrote one of the first books I remember reading that was not assigned by my school. The bible speaks of not having other gods before him, so I won't say she is my idol. What I will say is I admired her tremendously.

William Shakespeare. I was obsessed Eid his books in high school. I would’ve love meeting him to interview him and know more about his inspiration.

I would like to go back in time and Douglas MacArthur. I would encourage him to keep fighting into North Korea and unify North and South Korea. If they had been unified back in the 60's, perhaps we would not be dealing with the issues from North Korea today and much of the suffering that the North Korean people have had to endure over the decades, such as the splitting of families, hunger, oppression, to name a few, would never have occurred. In hindsite, sometimes, the leaders of our country do not do what is best for the overall situation, and when the president recalled MacArthur from pursuing further into North Korea, he inadvertently allowed the troubles we face today because of it.

I would like to meet with Nikola Tesla.
Such a meeting would place me in awe of such brilliance.
Just to be in his presence would hopefully inspire my creative ability.
I would hope that he could give me some pointers into his thinking process.
I am sure that I might feel nervous in his presence, knowing what he accomplished.
