Wow. Your essays are always excellent, but this is a beautiful and intelligent piece that speaks eloquently to the reality Moon's words trampled on and insulted. I really like your choice to counter her arguments by picking up on citizenship, what it means and doesn't, and blending thoughts about the idea of it with the reality. It's not an approach I've seen elsewhere as yet.
I admire your ability to convey strong emotion, especially anger, and at the same time a thoughtful consideration of the ideas that matter here. Bravissima.
