If you could live in any time, anywhere, which would you choose and why?

Not to be trite, but honestly right here and now suits me perfectly. . . ..

Thanks to modern medicine, I'm alive today. I wouldn't be alive if I were born before l940.

I'd choose to live exactly where I am, at this time. The economy is going well and even though the US is perfect, I can't think of any other country that offers more.

I am lucky to reap the comforts and advances of this present time. But if, I were to choose at this moment being a pioneer woman on the Oregon Trail seems hopeful, exciting, adventurous, and  demanding.

I think that Paris in the 1920s would have been an exciting time and place to live. Maybe it's all those pictures of a dashing F. Scott Fitzgerald that entice me, but to be around such an amazing group of writers congregating in a fantastic city, far from their native land, during a time when industrialism had really begun to alter the way people lived and behaved, would be fascinating and probably very exciting. And also... I really love the clothes.

I am happy where and when I am...I just don't like any of the other people that are here with me, with a few excepions.

I would bounce around in 19th century Victorian England, wear pretty clothes, go to lovely balls, and meet all the writers I adore and respect

I have thought on occasion, "They had it so easy in the past," but they really didn't. So I think I would live now, only in Colorado where I could escape into the mountains any time I wanted.

I'm kind of used to here and now, although I am curious about the computer glitches involved in the y10k.

I think I would like to live where I am, right now. I have the best family in the world and I'm in the best position in life that I could possibly ask for, and I don't think I'd like to change that (funny, a couple of years ago I never thought I'd hear myself say that).

If I could leave anytime, anywhere, I would probably prefer to live back in the days when people first started being seen on the planet, and they had to hunt for their food, and their existance was always  in doubt. I would like to live in the times when people were nomadic, going from place to place, hunting their food, and things of that sort. To live in the time, right when the first people were neandrethals, and it wasn't an insult to be called a neandrethal, and their day-to-day existence was merely a fight to survive, that is when I would like to live.
