This is what I'm unclear on - if per Paarfi one gets a link to the orb 
before birth, cross-breeds are already citizens in the most important way. 
What else does being in a house get one?  Not enfranchisement.  Maybe the 
right to petition the House rep., maybe the avoidance of administrative 
hassles.  Do we think there are special effectively constitutional 
protections afforded house members?
