If you could talk to one dead person for an hour.... who would it be?

[Marc]

Let's say you have your choice to bring back from the dead, just one person, and have a chance to have an hour long conversation... who would it be and what would you talk about?

Rules of the game:
1) Can't be Jesus or any other divisive religious figure
2) If it's a politician, and you want to talk about politics, you can't give specifics, so as not to break the no politics rules.... just say it's so and so, and "I'd talk politics" or something to that effect

Good one, maybe we can go on a double date with our dead people.

Any of my grand parents. My Dad's parents died when I was young so I never got to know them. My Mom's parents were around much longer, but I didn't visit them as often as I should have and now I feel like I missed out on getting to know them better than I did. So, in all cases I'd just like to find out who they were, other than being my parent's parents, what it was like when they were younger, life's lessons, etc, etc..

My dad's father. He died when I was barely 4 years old. The little bit I remember about him are fond memories, but I wish I knew him better. From what my dad tells me about him, he was a real stand-up guy even though he had a pretty screwed up life. Went through a lot and I bet he would have a pretty interesting perspective on life.

My Mom, talk about how F'd-up my Dad is, and other family politics!

Any dead person. What's up on the other side, if there is one, and what role does faith play, if any.

OK, new rule. They have no memory of anything after death.

Hemingway. It's probably not answerable to ask how he could make such complex stories out of such a simplistic style, so I'd probably just ask if wanted to hit the bar for a few.

THomas Jefferson. I'd want to know his take on how we got this way and what we can do about it.

Swell. I was going to say Ronald Reagan but he doesn't remember anything before death. I guess we'll just stare at each other.

Well, yeah.

Maybe Ben Franklin, ask him about all the French hotties he used to hang with.
