1. I couldn't tell you
But it would surely put the nurture vs. nature argument to rest.

6. In prison for rape/murder/vehicular homicide
Edited on Sun Jul-15-07 12:45 AM by Truth Hurts A Lot
He certainly would not have even graduated high school. Probably would have knocked up a few women and then landed in jail for one of the above mentioned scenarios.

14. I think he would work on a car lot, but spend
most of his off hours sitting in a neighborhood bar getting shit-faced and telling x-rated jokes with his equally worthless buddies.

17. Running a street gang, probably; or at least would have done that when younger
Edited on Sun Jul-15-07 07:38 AM by LeftishBrit
Though probably by this age, he would either be (a) in prison; (b) dead, as he would have needed to come up against his enemies without the entire secret service protecting him; or (c) retired and living on the modest profits.
