Hmmmm that's a hard question!. Can they be dead!? If so then I think it'd have to be Samuel Bamford who was present at the Peterloo Massacre in 1819!. I'd ask him all about what happened from his point of view and what it was like to have personal experience of a country where nobody but the wealthiest could vote and what it was like campaigning for universal sufferage!. It'd make my dissertation a bit less time consuming and it would be fascinating to meet someone who was a reformer at the time and was actually at Peterloo!. I'd want more than 1 hour though!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Although I consider myself intelligent, there are times when I can be a pretty superficial person - I have to admit, I'm fascinated with celebrity life!. So, if I were to take the high road, I would say Paul McCartney!. I have no idea what I would say, but I'm sure it could quite possibly come out as unintelligible garble! haha If I were to speak to someone just to have a great time for an hour, it would be Kathy Griffin!. Yes, I know she's not an "A-Lister," but I love her comedy, her sense of self, and her intelligence (Have you heard her talk about the war!? Very smart)!. With Kathy, I wouldn't have to talk a lot - I would just let her carry the conversation!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

In my current frame of mind: I want to meet with the person who's in charge of Y/A's new format/updates!. I want to find out if he's aware of the commotion the changes are making, and of the glitches that keep happening!. I'd like to know what is being done to fix them, and whether they are just temporary!. I understand the need for the changes, but I'd like to know what the thinking was behind what is happening!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

My mother, who is dead!. I am doing some genealogical research on our family when we lived in Port Tampa, FL, during World War II!. I wanted to ask her about her experiences then!. Never occurred to me to ask these questions when she was alive!.

It is curious but it seems as if the questions only come after the answers vanish!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ!.
Man would that ever clear a lot of things up for me!. My questions would be on faith and how to increase them!. My questions would be about Him!. I would ask for clarification on what my mission here for our Father is exactly!. I'd bring a list with me and a tape recorder with me because quite frankly I think if I ever did have meeting "here and now", I would be lost and forgetful of what I want to know!. I would not be able to retain His answers for fear of the excitement of actually being there in His physical presence!.
The hour I would be given to spend with Him would have to come after the first twelve hours of meeting Him, my excitement to be with Him would be spent in worship for hours on end, not just an hour!. So, I would need time to calm down, to mentally accept what is happening, and to collect my thoughts and feelings before I could ever ask anything of Him!. Maybe twelve hours aren't enough, maybe I would need much much more time to acclimatize before I could actually spend an hour with Him to converse!.
If I could not have the time needed to accept and acclimatize myself to the presence of the Lord!. If all I had was the hour and only the hour without the time to calm down!? Then I would not ask anything, I wouldn't be able to; the whole hour would be spent in worship!. Not a question asked!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

With out new president after he is elected!. I would want to talk about the things I thought were important (education, homeless services etc) and also find out his top priorities!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
