What an odd state of affairs: You were born inside these lines, which are drawn by mountains and rivers and wars and treaties. And you can’t move outside them without permission.

Me: But I’m just like the guy on the other side of the line. Same height, eye color, race, religion, income, 2.5 kids and a white picket fence.

It: Ah, but you were born on this side of the line. He was born on the other side. Now don’t you understand?
