Superpower

Occasionally someone asks a question where the answer has profound consequences.

Barack Obama was asked what superpower would he like to have. He replied the ability to converse in any language. That answer hit me hard.

Isn't the internet an experiment in all of us understanding each other? It seems to me that a universal language would devolve into the familiar debate of the power of laws vs the power of printing money.

The Cone of Silence competes with Barack's superpower wish. In the middle of that is the truth. We all have a point where our give a damn breaks. I suspect that the point of breaking is closer to home than it is to global politics. We hear too much already.

I pray that Barack has his superpower and tells us what he learned from it.
