Perspective :

The dinosaurs had an exceptionally great run - about 100 million years of successful life on our planet, before asteroid impact. We think of the dinosaur age as somehow brief but it was a very very long period of earth time .

Humans …..we’ve been around for about 6 million years and only so called “ modern “ for a few thousand . Impact to our planet approaching catastrophic over only the past few hundred years. Massive largely uncontrolled population growth, enormous and toxic waste generation, and insatiable demand to exploit all natural resources .

So yeh, just to go back a mere 150,000 years right here in New Jersey, look around and return would be heaven to me

The eagles around here have had an amazing recovery since the effects of DDT have diminished. They’re all over the place.

My wife and I were as the beach a couple Christmases ago and found some kind of sea bird fouled in one of those little crab traps you cast with a fishing pole. We cut it loose and had it wrapped in a coat, since it was obviously injured, made a call to the wildlife rescue folks and waited, and waited for a response. The bird was getting a little rambunctious (clearly not appreciating what we were doing for it) and finally it was obvious we needed to turn it loose. It took off hobbling (like Festus from the old Gums one show), just got to the water and an Eagle nailed it. Of course then we heard back from the wildlife lady, told her the story and she said “ oh well, merry Christmas Eagle”. Not so funny for the injured bird, but the eagle didn’t waste any of it - we found the carcass coming back and it was picked clean.

I found the link to the Nessmuk e-book - enjoy.

I would go back about 2000 years or so. I would want to see and hear Jesus. Everything everyone else has said is great, nature and all, but lets not forget who it is that created it. To look at my savior, to hear him speaking. Heaven on earth.

Destroyer - no need to instruct us on what we need to remember etc.
This thread is just to share what you’d like to see from the past - no lessons for us needed.

Some of us may not share your religious beliefs so advising us “ what we need to remember “ about Jesus does not fit us all.

I would like to go back to my hometown about 60 years ago. I remember it as Mayberry on the beach

I think it was Joni Mitchell who said you don t know what you got till it s gone

That Nessmuk e-book is free, by the way. You can just go to the link and read it.

I’ll check it out

I'm sorry, but who the heck do you think you are to question what I would like to see and hear? You came up with some bs "I'd like to see unspoiled nature" thing, and that's all fine and good, but I'm not allowed to say what I would like to see/hear? The question was if we could go back in time, where or when. This is my answer of what I would like to see and hear. I am not preaching to you or to anyone else.

I DO NOT CARE if you or anyone else does or does not share what I believe in. I believe in God, and that Jesus Christ is my savior. That is MY BELIEF. HOW DARE YOU attack me, criticize me for my religious beliefs!!!

Lay off the personal attacks Greene.

Oh boy destroyer ….. point simply to state what you’d want to see without the “ let’s not forget who made it all instructional “

Calm down
