I have no idea if this is where this thead belongs but nothing else seemed to fit either. And I'm sure someone must have done a similar thread before. Now, having said all that...
President Bush's new book debuts this week and I was thinking I would love to sit down and have lunch with him and ask him all about 9/11 and what all he went through that day as President. I'm certain he must have some fascinating stories regarding that day and the events that transpired afterward that he would not feel "belongs" in a book.
So this got me wondering who else I would love to have lunch with--alive or dead--if I was able to do so. So far I've come up with (in no particular order)...
1. George W. Bush for the reasons above,
2. Ronald Reagan and his ideas about how America should be and how to move forward with respect to present events,
3. Jesus Christ because He's God.
4. George Washington & Benjamin Franklin regarding the founding of this nation and how we could fix it today (without a revolution requiring gun-fire).
5. Einstein...I just think he was a neat guy!
6. Moses and what it was like to walk through the divided sea and his thoughts on the Ten Commandments.
7. Abraham and what it was like to talk to God (ignore no. 3 at this point).
8. Churchill and what it took him to lead a nation from nightly attacks and to victory over the Nazi's (with the other Allies, of course).
9. Hank Williams...'cause he's freakin' Hank Williams.
10. Martin Luther King, Jr. and what he must think of this nation today and what he thinks would be required to move this nation in the right direction.
I thought about adding someone like Lucifer or Hitler to the list just so I could ask them, "WHAT-IN-THE-COUNTRY-FRIED-HELL-WERE-YOU-THINKING?!?!?!" but life is tough enough without having to be seen with all the wrong people.
So if you could have lunch with anyone--living or dead--who would it be and why?
