I would have loved to live in the thirties. Sure, it was the great depression, but Joseph Campbell still called it the best time of his life even though he was unemployed and living on the streets. He loved the freedom he had during the time. I want freedom, I was born to be a pirate and sail with Francis Drake or Batholomew Roberts... unfortunately they have been dead for while... beyond that, I also wish for the 90's. I am a 90's kid. What I really desire is freedom. Pirates had the freedom of the seas. In the 90's we had the freedom of the internet. During both time periods, the world was ours. Now I am just a slave to an evil system, I hate it, and I wasn't meant to live like this. And yes, the internet is in its dying gasps from government regulation and stupid corporations and copyright law enforcement. So yeah, I feel like I should have lived in another time quite often.
