An important decison!

What would decide if you could have any of the following superpowers; flight, invisibility,or the power to read thoughts? Think about it. I bet at first you thought it was an absurd question, but if you ponder this question more deeply, you might find yourself surprisingly captivated by the idea. The American radio program'This American Life' presented the topic of superheroes this week, and after listening briefly out of politeness, I found myself caught up in the different scenarios of what people would do when they chose thier preferred superpower. I would chose flight. What about you?

Such is the power of an idea, superheroes, and the captivating power of 'This American Life,' on NPR.
