One of my favorite thought experiments is imagining being able to bring someone forward from history, and see his reaction to modern times. Showing Ben Franklin a modern home, or showing Gutenberg a library.

Wouldn't it be lovely to see Abraham Lincoln, of Illinois, and his reaction to Obama's election?

As long as you're picking up Lincoln, pick up Douglass, too. No, not Stephen, Frederick. He deserves to see this coming Inauguration Day, too.
