If you found out that you were going to die tomorrow, but could invite five people to sit down to a meal and discussion with you today, who would you invite and why? They can be alive, deceased, not born yet, fictional, whatever, whomever. What would you serve?
1. My father (just to see his face again)
2. Hillary Clinton (I have a tremendous amount of respect for her)
3. Oprah Winfrey (Same as with Hillary plus I just want to say I dined with Oprah)
4. Candy Crowley (She seems so interesting to me. I'm a big political buff and her Beltway coverage is some of the best)
5. Dennis Haysbert (When all the other guests leave we can have a um, private conversation).
I don't even care what's served at this dinner. We could even grill burgers and dawgs. Beer would be the beverage of choice.
Only 5 is really hard though and way too small for a dinner party !
I'll chose 5 of my top 20 people at random:
Montaigne
Oscar Wilde
William Morris
Thomas Payne
Mary Wollstonecraft
But I would ideally like to add a few extra ones like :
Ernest Shackelton
Saki
Ghandi
John Steinbeck
Leonardo da Vinci
Macchiavelli
J-P Sartre
Audrey Hepburn
Samuel Hearne
Danton
Bruneschelli
Robespierre
Guy de Maupassant
Emile Zola
and many, many more
