The legal precedent ruling that corporations have equal rights as people.
I see it as the cornerstone event (or an otherwise major contributor) that has ruined the world: legalized irresponsibility, pollution, widespread corruption, big-brother government, stranglehold on media and free speech, wars over resources, and active supression of any alternatives.

I'd prevent the Lincoln assasination. I'd want to see how Reconstruction would have gone under Lincoln and if we could have avoided 90 years of Jim Crow laws.
APBM, All the Legion Worlders have agreed to meet (We all just won the lottery and have the time and money). You have been put in charge of selecting the location and setting things up. Where would we meet (on Earth) and what arrangements would you make?

Key Bridge Marriott in Rosslyn, VA because (1) It's a nice (enough) hotel with spectacular views of Washington, DC.
(2) It's the only such hotel within walking distance of my house, and I'm rather cheap and lazy.
(3) While cupcakes from afar would be available in every room, I'd insist on Grand Marnier soufflé for every LegionWorlder.
(4) For LegionWorlders stumbling back across the bridge from Georgetown after the bars close, I'd welcome you to my back porch (you didn't think I was going to let you inside?) where there's always a cooler full of this-week's-sale-beer from Harris Teeter.
Absolutely Perfectly Bodied Man: We all just won the lottery and have the time and money. What creative lie would you give me about your regrettable inability to attend the above-described function?

I would verbally tell you that I am dead, but will be there in spirit.
APBM, Magnetism, Telepathy, or Lightning. Which of these powers (and you can only have one) would you want and why?

Magnetism. Telepathyis out because I'm to vain to want to know what people really think about me.
Lightning seems sort of impractical for anything besides practical jokes.
...but magnetism, wow! No more need to parallel park. Elimination of annoying cell phone usage on public transportation.

I'd say me arriving to Seattle after moving to the USA and my partner waiting for me at the gate, taking me to the car, and putting the song "How long will I wait for you?" on the CD player... There are others, but this one is particularly charged in emotion (it had taken seven months for me to get my work visa)

Whoops! Pre-empte your question back there... the perils of simoultaneous posts! I'll answer both:
Gay bars: I've been to several, usually with friends, and have no scary experiences to share (sorry).
Song? mine keeps changing... right now, I'd say "These Foolish Things," and old Jazz Age standard. I've several diffrent versions, but my favorites are by Amy Fradon (a local artist; Ramona's daughter) and Cher (from the flick "Tea With Mussolini"). Bryan Ferry's version is also nice.

Are the plethora of pointless "Welcome" threads annoying you as much as they annoy me?
