The passage where Kosala and the Greenpeace Director are discussing the proposal to try and exclude nature preserves from the war always makes me choke up when I read it. Both the effort to do it -- to preserve what, once lost, is lost forever (although new and different things will still occur), and Kosala's concerned response that it would create borders where there were not borders before. It isn't exactly true -- the Reservations have existed, and the (completely unmentioned, but presumably existing) areas still damaged by the Church War -- but it's the feared loss of the ideal of a borderless world that makes me choke up.

Such a well written thing. Your comments or other thoughts very welcomed.
