Yesterday I was in Ann Arbor to attend a staff meeting for work.  Then I spent the rest of the day in the library writing a paper.  Toward the end of the afternoon I wandered down South University in search of food.

I ended up at New York Pizza with a slize of chicken and pesto pizza and a drink.  The TVs were blaring.  On one set was a live feed from the US House, where members of the House were giving one minute speeches.  They were talking to an empty room, the only people present besides the Speaker were the Representatives that wanted to talk.  They spoke  about children’s health insurance, clean water,  the war and more.  Members of the house were zealous about their causes, but the overall feeling was chaotic as each speech was one minute or less and the next one was on a different topic.  With no one listening I wondered what the point was.

Across the room the other TV was blaring at a similar level.  This one had a cartoon on it, with small childish super heros zooming around and saving the world. 

I sat in the middle of the room, half way between the two televisions and wondered which were the real super powers.  Both trying to save the world.  Who would be more effective?
