I was thinking about the "Sliders" or Mirror Universe idea of versions of people having dublicates in alternate world's having different values but also similiarties as well. What do you think you would be like in a world were it was basically similiar to this world but the you in that world might have taken some of the things you had to deal with here and instead made all the wrong choices?
For me I could see a few possibities. I live in Oklahoma which is not exactly a hotbed for liberal values so I could see a version of me that might have been a racist. My familiy has always been poor and if you include that with some of the anger I had in junior high because I was unhappy with my life, I could see me going down a darker path if I had got mixed up with the wrong crowd. Granted I never really bought into religion and I have always been intrested in how people and society function which means the type of racist I would be would proably been more along the lines of those assholes who want to show you the "Logic" of racism as oposed to the religious types that might hate people because GOD iis supose to hate them.
A second possibility is my OCD along with some of my self-control issue's I have with food could led to really horrible version of me. One of the reason's I have never done drugs, use alchol or even smoked a cigeratte is because I am fat. I have almost always been fat. If I can't control food then I would mostly likely would have become a addict of some kind. Once you do that and combine it with OCD,especially the ind were you have intrusive and horrible thoughts then that means I would proably be out of control.
