The Good Ol' Switcharoo

Here is the thing. You are given the opportunity of a life time to switch entities with anyone of your chose for a day. This person can be living or dead and the boundary for your selection of the person is endless. It could be your dog, your noisy neighbor or that punk who smashed your mailbox this past month.

You do not control them but you are more less a passenger or ghost to witness their day. They are in complete control of their actions and you are just there to watch. We all know you cannot change history or the future will be altered beyond your wildest imagination. We have seen the affects of this in movies like Back to the Future (Micheal J. Fox is a king) Terminator 1, 2 (not 3, since it blew chunks) and The Butterfly Affect (yes, surpsingly Ashton made a movie worth watching). 
So, the burning question for you is "Who would you choose?"

Personally, my choice would be to watch and stand back in awe of Josef Stalin
Every since doing my Gr. 11 history project on him, I have be fascinated on what barbarisms he instilled on his people and what he did to get to his stature. 

Many people view Hitler as the most evil man in history for his Genocide on the Jewish people. His actions were terrible and absolutely disgusting. Or, some view Mao-Ze Dong of China as the evilest man in history. The arguments are vast and each and every man was terrible in their own right. 

Why Stalin you ask? The man was the definition of evil to me. He purged his country and starved millions (records show he killed up to 60 million people in his tenure). He killed anyone in his way and if they didn't die, they disappeared or wound up taking a vacation to Gulag camp. Their families were never safe and everyone played by his rules or else it was game over for them.


I would just love to see exactly how someone could do such evil and live with themselves. I would love to float beside him as a ghost and just see how his days went. While he would be munching on a steak, his people were fighting over potatoes day in and day out just to live. 


Just to see Josef Stalin at work would be amazing. I would just like to know how he did it all.
Or, maybe I don't want to know?....
