Billy The Kid seemed to kill folks in self defense or to avenge the deaths of his friends. I would like to have dinner with him, though, to discuss his tenacity and knack for using his head under extremely stressful circumstances....He also knew the meaning of the word "pals". I've always admired his dynamic personality, not the killer side though.
If you could have dinner with any historical person...(top 3 choices)

makes sense, lok-key, after all, he was a product of his time ...... ie, billly the kid
sometimes people like that (ie, william bonnY), became who we think they are b/c of the way history (ie HIS-tory, which is defined, at times, by those who have a stake in its telling, is not so true .... and I agree , LKS, billy bonney seemed to be a man who had little choice in his life ...
As for William Wallace,,, correct me if I am wrong, but I believe he was a man who truly fought for his principles ...
non?

3. The prophet Muhammad (I would take a photo of him and me kissing while drinking wine and smoking pot and post it on the Internet for all Muslims to see and die of shame)

I like the Sagan pick. Other great minds I'd like to meet are Tesla and Hawking, Ben Franklin, and maybe Isaac Newton and Leonardo DaVinci.
