<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman"><TT>Vienna during the time of Maria
Theresa. That woman knew how to kick ass. She was one of the best
rulers the Austrian Empire ever had, and still managed to juggle an extremely
large family. Not to mention she got to live in Schönbrunn, only one of
the most amazing places I've seen. I'd just love to watch this woman do
what she did. And play in the sandbox of Viennese court society

shadow while Pa dragged the family across the Midwest. I once yelled at my
mother for having me in 1980 instead of 1880...she laughed. Go figure

======================================<BR><BR><BR>There are two times I'd like
to visit, actually. One is a very ancient time <BR>period; the other is
an event I *just* missed by a generation.<BR><BR>I'd like to visit the ancient
Near East in general, Egypt in particular. <BR>Can't decide if I want to
see the pyramids built or witness the Exodus <BR>during the New Kingdom.
I'd also like to lay to rest the dispute of *who* <BR>the Egyptians were and
*what* they looked like... one of history's nastiest <BR>debates
IMHO.<BR><BR>And then I'd want to travel to 1964-1965 and do a smattering of
things:<BR>1) Travel to Mississippi and participate in Freedom Summer
1964, in which <BR>college students helped register blacks in Mississippi to
vote.<BR>2); Visit Hitsville, U.S.A. on West Grand Boulevard when Motown
was topping <BR>the charts, American cars were "in", and Detroit was one of
the most viable <BR>cities in the nation.<BR>3) Travel to New York and
meet Malcolm X in the last months of his life, <BR>after his pilgrimage to
Mecca. He'd realized the farce the Nation of Islam <BR>was and was
poised to become a great mainstream leader of African Americans. <BR> (I
was privileged to get to know his older brother Wilfred in the last <BR>years
of his life... and he told me things about Louis Farrakhan that <BR>shocked
the socks off me. It's because of him that I didn't join the NoI
<BR>during my teenage Africentric phase.)<BR>4) Top it all off by
participating in the March on Washington and hearing <BR>Dr. Martin Luther
King, Jr. give the "I Have a Dream" speech in person.<BR><BR>Ah. One can
dream, can't she?<BR><BR>--Ebony<BR><BR><>< <>< <><
