Let us imagine for a moment that we would be assured of living 70 years at any point, and anywhere, in history. Which 70 years would you choose and where would you choose to live them. (assume the ability to travel at will...at least at the will allowable for the time period you have chosen.)
I think I’d choose 1855 to 1925 in America...although air conditioning certainly makes modern times desirable. (yet listen to us bitch in spite of the easiest physical life that has ever been available.)

1890-1960, who’d want to miss Elvis or Sam Cook?

1900 - 1970.

From the Wright Brothers to Apollo.

For me it would be about 1760 to 1845.

I might like to visit some other times, such as the time of the founding of America and framing of the constitution, but ...

... we were chosen for this time.
