I Read Somewhere That Everybody On This Planet Is Separated By Only Six Other People. Six Degrees Of Separation Between Us And Everyone Else On This Planet. The President Of The United States, A Gondolier In Venice, Just Fill In The Names. I Find It Extremely Comforting That We're So Close. I Also Find It Like Chinese Water Torture, That We're So Close Because You Have To Find The Right Six People To Make The Right Connection... I Am Bound, You Are Bound, To Everyone On This Planet By A Trail Of Six People.

There Was No Nuance. And So A Free Man Of Color Who Could Own Property Was Suddenly Not Allowed To.
