((1.) What weapons did you use to protect yourself throughout your life? Do you have a weapon with you now, just in case?))
I used a shotgun in the war. Yes, I think it’s prudent to be prepared for anything.
((2.) What is your favourite food? (whether you had access to it or not))
Oranges, I love them.
((3.) Your enemy was in the cities. Was the President in 2005 also on the enemy side? was the President in 2009 on the enemy side? How did you feel personally about these Presidents?))
The President or “leader†in 2005 I believe tried desperately to be the next Lincoln and hold the country together but many of their policies drove a larger wedge into the Bill of Rights. The President in 2009 was interested only in keeping his/her power base.
((4.) While you were in the 1970's what did you think of Nixon as President?))
To tell you the truth, I was more fascinated by the different standards Presidents are held to.
((5.) Do you plan to do any more time traveling when you return to 2036? ))
I don’t know if I will be chosen for a another mission. If I do, most likely, I will fly as an advisor or historical consultant.
((6.) Do you have any doubts about this time travel experience and the computer mission that you are on? ))
Absolutely. I have to believe there is an easier way to do this.
((7.) What have you leered the most from the people of this board? ))
There is a fire of intelligence and expression out there in the people who are criticized for their open-mindedness. I fear it will only be uncovered in the rest of the population through conflict. I was under the impression that most people were sleeping in this period but I suppose that generalization is too broad for any time period.
((8.) Where did you learn the use of "Gosub" and which computer language? ))
Gosub / Return. In one form or another, isn’t that a pretty standard function in most computer languages?
((9.) Where did you learn to write perfect English? How much time did it take? ))
I’m not so sure I write perfect English. I do read a great deal more than I see most people doing here.
((10.) Was China your enemy? ))
Not my enemy? I never fought any Chinese but their ability to hit Western cities with missiles made a lot of people unhappy.
((11.) Do they have Pac Man or Donkey Kong in 2036? ))
I am aware they are video games but I have not come across them.
((12.) Does China have a manned space program between 2001 and 2036? ))
I believe they are pretty close to putting a man in orbit. It shouldn’t surprise you if they do that soon.
((13.) Do you have any problems with the number thirteen? ))
Not personally.
((14.) If the worldlines are changed by everyone's choices, this means we are all manevering through timelines as we make these choices. Since everyone is making different choices, why do we still meet people that coincide with our previous worldline? ))
Your worldline takes form as the choices unfold. People do not disappear because you must follow the same physical laws that hold you here. (i.e. Information cannot travel faster than light on a worldline.)
((15.) In your opinion, would timelines be better represented as an inflated balloon, or a layered Rubix cube with interchanging and overlapping interactions? ))
Balloon in balloon in balloon. A Rubix cube as in the toy, right?
((16.) Does your group have a television in 2036? ))
Information does arrive on video but cathode ray tubes are out and crystal or plasm is in. Distribution is over the net, not broadcast.
((17.) Does your group have a flashlight in 2036? If so, what type of batteries does it use? ))
Yes, we have flashlights and we use similar batteries for most things. We do recharge a great deal. Have you ever seen those wind-up radios? They’re pretty interesting I think.
((18.) How is electricity generated in 2036? ))
“Most†publicly generated power is through very efficient solar cells. On a local or household level, there is steam, hydro and inversion generation. There is a debate on using a singularity to generate power.
((19.) Does the sun look any different in 2036 than it does now? ))
When you can see it through the high level smoke and haze, not that I’m aware of.
((20.) What sort of clothing do you wear in 2036? Is there strong attention paid to what people wear in the group? ))
Clothing is much more functional. I’m not sure what group you’re talking about.
((21.) Where were you born? ))
I was born in Florida.
((I'm sorry that the list is so long, but I hope that you will enjoy answering them, and we will all learn from them. ))
No Problem.
((TimeTravel_0 if you have any more questions you would like to know about us, please post them. ))
Thanks.
TTA...I promise to get to your questions. I just hope you aren't too dissapointed when you don't get the answeres you want. I wonder if you're change in attirude is in prelude to your well crafted literary trap? Do you think I'll fall in?
