Since we are speaking about time machines how about this. In the book I am reading for our novel project it is about time travel. The person who goes through the gate can not go back into their own past to change something becasue that would cause a paradox so they can only go into the future. Well Stefan decides to change the life of woman. Now if you could go into the future to see how things were what would you see, or what would want to know about the future and would want to try and change it (I say try b.c according to the book "destiny" tries to corrects the changes made) and what would you change.
For me personally I would want to know the power ball numbers so I don't have to check out my own life just find out what the numbers were. Plus this way I can win the lottery and pay off all my loans! lol. Also i'll be able traval like I have always wanted.

Yeah, checking out the winning lottery numbers would definately be tempting. But then I'd have to worry about how to be "moral" with all the money (haha). Of course, paying off all our loans = awesome. And traveling would also be nice. But I wonder if guilt from all that money would overtake me? Sure, let's say I donated a bunch, etc., payed tithes, etc., but would I just feel guilty that I had not earned the money in some way? I guess it's comparable to inherintances (sp?) when Great Auntie Suzee leaves you a chunk of change to go have fun with, but somehow that's different because for Great Auntie Suzee to leave you all that moolah you probably were pretty close to her (or maybe not! maybe she just always liked your mom and you're an only child).
But I'm getting onto another topic.
Other than greedy reasons for money, I don't think I would want to know the future. I wouldn't want to know if I was going to be dissapointed, I wouldn't want to know if my husband was going to die in 2 days. I guess I just don't want to know the future but want to experience it via the present. (This also goes to say I wouldn't want to change things so my future/past/present ended up differently.)
