How much power do you have?

Not much, I expect. I haven't given it any thought before. I doubt I could influence anyone or be manipulative, if that's what you mean.

Shanna, 15
Cardiff ENGLAND

Lots when it comes to getting my ex to do what I want ;)

Angela, 16
Aiken
, SC

Not much. I don't really control anything, and why would I want to?

Jeremy, 13
Highlands Ranch
, CO

Too much, and not nearly enough.

Amy S., 15
Lenox

I have enough to know that if I ever had the chance I would take over the world. Power is a combination of charisma, intelligence, and sheer will power - I have all three.

To rise in the morning and retire in the evening, but not to make the sun stop or go.

Felicia, 34

I have power over the enemy because I have the Lord in my heart :)

Melodi, 19

As much as I make up my mind to have during any given period of time, just like everybody else.

I have the power to shape my future. I have the power to make myself happy. I have the power to change my attitude in life. I have the power to see the good in others.

Laura, 35

I can call spirits from the vasty deep--but they rarely answer. I can turn molehills into mountains. I can move mountains, one bucket full at a time. Generally, I can please myself.

Jill, 59

There are alot of types of "power", but my personall power is very strong. I have the ability the do anything I want and believe I can do.

Stephanie, 24
TX

Zero, to all appearances.

Karen, 21

i only have power over myself... so i don't have much

Brooke, 16
Memphis

All the power in the world.

Savannah

Power over what? Since the question is stated in such a general fashion, my only answer seems to be "enough."

Fisch, 45
Preston

Lots!! I'm a black belt in Karate!

Dianne E.

I love everyone.

Jami, 27
Lowell

Enough.

Jane, 60

Too much, and not nearly enough.

Amy S., 15

Physical strength: about what you'd expect from someone who's  6'1"-200. Mental power: I do okay at Jeopardy.

Alias Irrelevante

I have enough power to know how to conduct myself in certain situations but not enough to tell others how to conduct themselves

Emma, 20

Apparently I am now responsible for ruining the lives of 23 high school seniors all because I "gave" them a B. *snort* It's not my fault they had an A going INTO the exam.   Supposedly, they are now all going to be custodial engineers since that B in first quarter English V has ruined any chance they've ever had of getting into college.

Power?  Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Teacher power is just absolute.

Amy, 23

The increasing price on petrol, the introduction of a Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Emma, 20

In professional terms I am pretty much a peon right now, but I do feel I have a good amount of power over the circumstances in my life, to do and be what I want to

mothmc, 36

none. and it doesnt bother me a bit.

Steve, 29
Lake Worth

Not a whole hell of a lot

Sarah J.
Jones, MO  USA

What kind of power? I certainly have the power to wound someone with my words. I hope I have enough power to control my children. I pray my love is enough the empower my husband. I surely do have enough control and power in my life. I seek not to rule men or countries, Just my little piece of earth,I call home.

Janet, 42

At work, the big "0". At home, 50%.

Reba, 50
Rockville
, MD   USA

I have the power to lead a happy life and to ruin it.  I have the power to bring joy to people and take it away. When I think I have any other power, I usually find out later that I was fooling myself.

Jesse, 24
Bowie
, MD    USA

I do not have power in terms of fancy public titles, but I have power over my own state of mind, my thoughts, feelings and direction in life.

Tina, 31
Medford
, MA    USA

like witchraft? Wow, I'm not falling for that one --again.

Jaden, 21
Brampton, Ontario  CANADA

I may the most insignificant speck of dirt at work. I have no power. At home, to my animals, they probably think I have a lot of power, but really, I'd say I have 25% power. Yeah, I'm really important (sic).

Mick, 30

I puree.
