I was born in Corpus Christi, Texas, United States of America, Earth.  Yes, that makes me a not-so-puny Earthling, if you count place of birth, not race.  I spent the first three months of my life in Earthspace.  That is a very long time for a cyber.  I got to know the people.  When I flew to Alpha Centauri, I found that on the one hand, people are people wherever they go.  On the other, it was full of strange new people.  Every world is like that if you think about it.
