Anytime during the Roaring Twenties before Oct. 29th 1929. 

Get a big lavish party going, play some big band music and get a flapper to dance for me and I'd be set.   Smile
The only thing that would suck would be the fact that Prohibition was in effect at the time.

I'd like to go back to the early sixties (before Nam) the whole "free love" area.  (Course, I'd probably have just about as much luck scoring with chicks as I do now.. but hey, at least we wouldn't have to worry about disease...)

Also wouldn't mind traveling back to the early 80s, and make an investment in some small company called "Microsoft" and then go forward to see how my stock portfolio went. :)

But on a completely non-selfish mode, I'd like to go back to the time just after the Revolutionary War.  Love to be able to sit down with some of the founding fathers and ask them some questions, maybe help clear up some modern day issues we're all still debating about.

BTM, "free love" in a '60s context would most certainly be during the Vietnam era -- late 1960s.  Also, you don't think boys and girls got VD then?

It would be fun to go back to the Middle Ages or the Renaissance with several crates full of modern pharmaceuticals and reference books and become a royal physician . . .

"OK, King Henry, I'll heal the abcess on your leg - but I want my own palace and Anne Boleyn's younger sister!!!!"

As I'm sure you know, it is amazing the wide range of malities the elite had, most of which cause some form of mental illness. From the Egyptian Pharaohs, Emperors, Kings, Queens and the lot. Many were just a social step away from being locked up.
But you just don't read about that many normal, well adjusted, physically and mentally healthy leaders of antiquity. There were a few but most were just mad, or at the least thought faking it (i.e. Claudius) 

But true most ailments of old are what today is thought to be a easy home cure, what a difference a discovery makes, huh?


It's nice to know that the leaders of some of our greatest civilizations were insane. Buggedout Buggedout Buggedout

True, but IIRC, VD could be cured with some penicillin, unlike most of the sexual diseases we have today.

 It's not the demise of "free love" that held back my sex life...it was the fact that I was a LOSER that stifled me!  BounceGiggle....waitaminnit......that's not funny....it's pathetic!...... Bluesad

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
