Who would you save if you could go back in time and stop one person outside of your families death? I thought about this last night for awhile. I had five people in mind.
Marilyn Monroe- I'd want to see how she ages and changed the whole female body image of Hollywood today since she herself was a size 14 not negative 2
John F. Kennedy- I'd like to see how the country changed with him still being around making choices.
John Lennon- I'm a huge Beatles fan, I'd wonder if they would reunite and if he would live to the legend he's become.
Martin Luther King- I'd love for him to see his dream come alive and how he helped push the world.
Abraham Lincon- I'd like to see the changes he would continue to make.
But a little more thinking Marilyn was a ver disturbed person so i wouldnt want to prolong her pain, JFK, Lincon and MLK might have been killed again just a few years later so I guess I would save Lennon to see how to world changess with him around.
What about you?

Famous folks...I have to agree with John F. Kennedy and include Bobby Kennedy. I'd also agree with MLK. On a more personal note, I lost two friends when I was a senior in high school to a drunk driver who was speeding. They were a couple who planned to marry the following year. If I could go back in time I would make them stay in the 7-11 parking lot for ten more minutes, giving the drunk driver enough time to pass by before they pulled out.

Thats really touching about your friends I had a smilar experience with some friends from high school they got out on the highway to help a motorist and got hit and killed by another driver who sped out of control where they were. Bobbye Kennedy would also be a great choice the entire Kenndy family has just had a rough time.

I think Bobby Kennedy would have made a great president.

This is a very good question.
The first person I would have tried to save is our former Prime Minister, Mrs. Indra Gandhi.
The second person is Mahatma Gandhi.
The third person is Mr.Velupillai Prabahakaran, chief of Liberation Tigers of Tamil Ealam.
There are so many other deserving persons, I have just given the names which came to my mind.

Yes, we are such a common people, who cannot change the course of History. But at the same time, we can always dream. Dreams dont die.

Now I wouldn't want to go outside my family but I guess all those Bstuff mentioned are worth it.
However, the first person in my mind is my father Mr. Eme. I really miss his person and his youthfulness, and most importantly the midnight advice he usually passes on to me before his demise.
Another person I think I'll like to save is my aunt, Aunt Ify, she was a very outgoing person and very resiurceful. I miss her ingenuity as a person and the role she played in our family before her demise.
