If you could meet and talk with one famous man or woman who is now dead, whom would you choose and what would you discuss, why?

I would like to talk with Alexander of Macedonia, he is by far (IMO) the most brilliant general/military leader of history…his empire stretched from Greece to the Indus river, and down into Mesopotamia and Egypt…..with an army of 40,000 he defeated a larger Persian army, eventually bringing the end of the Persian Empire. I would as him about his life in general. What did he do for fun when he was young, what was Aristotle like, when he was taught by him…I just have a fascination with him and how he turned the odds from being against him, to favoring him….(Bit of trivia, but it is thought, due to the "strength" of his relationship with to friends of his, that he was a homosexual.....)

George W. Bush.

He's the leader of the world's largest power EVER. His decisions are shaping the post-cold war world in ways that we probably won't fully understand for another hundred years at least.

I'd like to spend a day with him. We could discuss politics, foreign policy, or the merits of various microbrews. The exact topic wouldn't really matter to me so much. I'd be more interested in the opportunity to look him in the eye, hear the timbre of his voice, and interact with him in a variety of ways throughout the day's activities.

Hmmm, Interesting...i'm sure there a more than a few people that would like to 'spend time' with him... ...it would be interesting though...to learn more about him, not just what is said about him,etc...

I think I'd like to start with US Marshall Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday. I'd like to know what "really" happened at the OK corral.
