The dispute over the San Juan Islands, mentioned above, lasted until an arbitration agreement in 1871. The treaty also had the unintended consequence of putting what became Point Roberts, Washington on the "wrong" side of the border. A peninsula jutting south from Canada into Boundary Bay, the agreement made the land south of the 49th parallel a separate fragment of the United States.

“Your toddler will be “good” if he feels like doing what you happen to want him to do and does not happen to feel like doing anything you would dislike. With a little cleverness you can organize life as a whole, and issues in particular, so that you both want the same thing most of the time.”
—Penelope Leach (20th century)
“Myth shows human life arising out of chaos, cannibalism, and incest. Will it go back the way it came?”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“There is between sleep and us something like a pact, a treaty with no secret clauses, and according to this convention it is agreed that, far from being a dangerous, bewitching force, sleep will become domesticated and serve as an instrument of our power to act. We surrender to sleep, but in the way that the master entrusts himself to the slave who serves him.”
—Maurice Blanchot (b. 1907)
