There are a lot of good posts on this thread, but this the interview that I would pay the most to watch or read!

I've always held that this song should be our national anthem.

I think Christ would be the top of my list, if for no other reason than to clarify all those maddening vagaries in the New Testament.

Winston Churchill would also come pretty close to the top.

As far as philosophers and thinkers go, I think I would give them a miss. Serious people cause almost all the world's misery, you realize. What's more, they've pretty much committed their key thoughts to paper.

The Founding Fathers would be fun, too, especially in showing them the modern US. I would ask them, "Is this what you had in mind?"

After that, I think I would go with humorists. I would interview Robert Benchley and Dorothy Parker at the same time just to hear their famed back-and-forth. P.G. Wodehouse deserves a shot, too, since he's the funniest writer of all time.

I agree, Winston Churchill would be very interesting.

Are you all seeking to find wisdom in the minds of others? How come no one has looked at the dark side?
How about interviewing the following:
Son Of Sam
Charles "Texas Tower" Whitman
Anyone who "interogates" detainees at Gitmo
Charles Manson
Pat Robertson
Anyone who is taking his loaded guns to the nearest shopping mall
Dick Cheney
Ann Coulter

I'd like to hear what they say and, if possible, could be injected with a drug which forces them to make true statements.

Gen.Michael Collins, commander of the Irish Volunteers who forced the British into negotiating a treaty.

My grandparents (male an female) served under him.

I'd like to sit for a few hours with him and ask so many questions that would be too numerous to list here.
