As you know my situation doesn't put put me at the top of the bell curb. It was easy to read Stranger in a Strange land as a tween, alienation has the word alien in it for a reason. The term "illegal alien" is very offensive to me. Why does term exist? Also, how can we make tweens feel good about being aliens also, and what if real aliens from outer space show up? Can we be kind to Martians or not? You decide!
