Beyond the Invisible..

About Me

A Colonial Native.
Paternal ancestors were Leiden Separatists, (chartered the Mayflower) Maternal greatGrandmother survived the Trail of Tears (the largest slaughter/displacement of American Indians)I am a Protestant first and foremost, but don't confuse me with your average Christian. Even though i've been kicked off more Protestant/Catholic message boards, i still cherish mans right to worship however he sees fit. I don't believe in bloodshed "in the name of God" BUT i do believe in bloodshed to protect the right to CHOOSE my God...

I'd like to meet:

I'm sure there's several people in history that i would love to meet. My grandfather, who died long before i was born. But from Mother's stories, i know i would have adored him.
If i traveled farther back in time, maybe President Lincoln. Back farther, Samuel Fuller. Another grandfather (13 times removed) who signed the Mayflower Pact. Farther back, maybe Constantine. (If there was a guarantee that my questions, wouldn't have me executed) *grin*
And father back, Pharaoh Hatshepsut, before she became Queen. Though i would want to follow up, and verify that it was in fact her brother that destroyed her legacy and erased all mention of her adopted son, Moses...

But if this is all about who i would want to meet, today..
Maybe interview? That would include:

Michael Cretu. ..the Man that is Enigma
And Jon Anderson.
