How would you define power if your steady income and occupation was founded sitting in a 3X3 foot security gatebooth for 8 hours at the west-entrance of UCSC on Heller Drive saturday night at 2330 pm supposedly trying to keep unwanted and questinable characters away from campus?
You would keep the on-coming cars waiting, keep them in the pawn of your motions, waiting in their cars at the stop sign not reacting to the sound of roar from the lone car stopped there, you would ignore their presence at least for - lets say 45 seconds.
