" "I love this place," you think as you begin your evening shift at the 8-12 convenience store near your apartment building. "What a lucky break to get this job while I'm getting the world's best education at Emily Enigma Flying College!" "Ok, I'll take over now," you say to the young Pakistani lady, who had barely escaped a wild horde of fundamentalist Pakistani Muslims, who had wanted to decapitate her for asserting that god's a woman. She considered herself extremely lucky for getting to this country, where religious fundamentalists only shoot physicians now and then. "
