Who would I like to meet? Possibly one of the best questions anyone could ever ask. So my choices would be [in no particular order]: Jesus on a walk [preferably while walking on water], Buddha under the tree, Benjamin Franklin the moment after he flew that kite and got electrocuted, Moses on the mountain, Mohammad Ali before he changed his name, Dali Lama before he ever spoke to the international community, Nixon when he wrote his speech "I'm not a crook", Chojun Miyagi before WWII, Morrissey while he writing lyrics, The Dominion while preparing for battle, Hemingway in his poorest days, John F. Kennedy as a child, Desmund Tutu while incarcerated, Prince while soaking wet from the Purple rain, MJ after the trials and OJ before the trials.
