". . .the rest is just so much conceptualised clap-trap, however so intriguing in terms of anthropology (which is just so much Academic Voyeurism based on the myth of Cultural Hierarchy) but ultimately useless in terms of our actual humanity"

Really? That seems like a bit of a sweeping generalisation. Don't you think to a large degree it defines our humanity?

". . . as long as there's satisfactory atmospheric pressure to maintain the integrity of our human form, then I don't suppose it matters where we live."

I would agree with this in terms of nationalism, but not in terms of personal identity. Every culture that has ever existed (up until the advent of the industrial revolution and the urbanisation of a large proportion of the population in some countries) has a deep and intrinsic relationship with the land they live in - as folk musicians we must be more aware of this than most. You don't have to be born at a place to experience this feeling, which early Celtic monks thought was "seeking their place of resurrection. . . they thought they were beneath that spot under the firmament that would one day lead them to heaven."
