Back To The Future

Can you believe it has been close to 30 years since Marty McFly first traveled to1955 in Doc Brown's DeLorean?  The year 2015 is fast approaching, and so I am wondering how close we are to inventing that hoverboard, those self-lacing shoes, the clothes that dry themselves, the food rehydrator...  I guess we will find out soon enough.  When "Back To The Future" came out, I couldn't even imagine being old enough to see 2015.  But the traveling back in time really fascinated me.  If you had a time machine, and could go back in time, to before you were born, where would you go?  Who would you visit?  What history would you attempt to "rewrite"?  There are so many places I'd like to go, but I would love to meet our Founding Fathers.  Perhaps even witness the signing of the Declaration of Independence.  Back to a time when America was founded on this philosophy: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."  Oh how things in this country
would be different if I could bring George Washington back with me!
