This and every Monday, the Bweinh!tributors, having convened in secret for hours of reasoned debate and consideration, will issue a brief and binding ruling on an issue of great societal import.
This week’s question — Where and when would be your first destination in a time machine?
The council was unable to reach a majority ruling on this issue, although a plurality would travel to the past.
Josh offers this opinion, joined by Job:
The year 2000. I hear they’re going to have flying cars and everything.
Mike offers this opinion, joined by Erin:
To see my parents just before I was born. Haven’t you ever been curious what your parents were like before you came along?
Chloe offers this opinion, joined by David:
I would return to the Grecian Gold Age, where there were democratic city-states, which is the best form of government. And I would hang out with Aristotle.
David offers this opinion, joined by Tom:
San Francisco area in California, 1847. Only I wouldn’t be stupid enough to tell everyone, “Hey! There’s gold over here!”
Kaitlin offers this opinion, joined by Steve:
A few decades into the future — it would be nice to know what’s going to happen, since I spend an awful lot of time trying to figure it out.
Steve offers this opinion, joined by Kaitlin:
The original Resurrection Sunday. Seeing Him first would hopefully keep me from using it for mischief.
Djere offers this opinion:
If I had a time machine, it wouldn’t matter where I went first. I would be everywhere at the same time.
Erin offers this opinion:
Ancient Egypt, during the reign of Hatshepsut . . . because of the fascinating culture, architecture, and people.
Connie offers this opinion:
It’s too much power for me. No thanks.
MC-B played no part in the determination of this issue.
