Wow, grrrrrrrrrrreat question. Never really thought of this before, but I would love to live without the conveniences of this life, so that would put me right around 1850 to 1860, or 1860 to 1870.

Hmm.. an interesting question that I've thought about once in a while. The problem with Ancient and Medieval eras (any country) was that while it would be interesting to visit and then leave, I would never, ever want to actually live in those eras. Tons of wars, plagues, short life expectancy, and you had better hope you don't get sick. Unless you could "arrange" it somehow to be wealthy, odds are you are going to live a very rough, short life. Not to mention that in places like medieval Europe cities and towns would stink to high heaven.
Even though we have problems in the modern era, things are much better as far as standard of living. For a good time, I would probably choose to stay right were I am but roll back the clock to the mid 50's to early 70's, which is more of my father's era. I think life would have been interesting then, especially given the rise of the middle-class. Good standards of living, nice cars, cheaper cigars, no smoking bans, and no major wars other than that bit of nastiness in SE Asia.... which is almost the only reason why I say I would stay right where I am. |

Hmm...1921. Would've just missed the great flu pandemic, and there were plenty of trolley lines still running (some heading for their peak).

Either the 1870s to hunt down Jesse James, or the 1960s to make love, not war.

1800-1810 Would love to be exploring the Western frontire back then. Trapping, fishing, exploring and such... Would love to have seen this country before it became over-developed. When trees were huge and the wildlife still pretty much more populous. Would love to see a giant buffalo herd.

Adjusting to the Life

2010-2020; the beginning of the first great crisis. The Saudi's stopped being able to conceal the decline in oil output about the same time most western nations finally realized that the dollar was a worthless. The US economy collapsed along with the Federal government over a period of three months, there wasen't much left. The US became divided along regional lines, much like South America... Intresting times indeed.

I grew up in the 80's so I would go back to the seventies. Actually would love to go 1965 to 1975. Just the best music of all from that era.
