If you could have dinner with any philosopher, who would it be?

I would love to talk with Confucius or Lao-Tzu. I took a couple of religion classes in college including eastern religions and they make a lot more sense then anything the west has come up with. Not so much as religions as ways of life, but that was the class that went through it.

Confucius would be an excellent person to talk with. He believed in education for all, which I agree with. We should have education. An educated populace is for the benefit of all.

Either way, I would need to go pull out my books from college and reread them before talking with them. Always best to be prepared.
