Identity crisis time! It surely doesn't bring us together that we inevitably identify oursselves as ****-American! As a Jew who has no religion (and count that as a 'missing' category) I think that it's culture, not geography or nationality or 'blood' that identifies us. we hang out with and are comfortable with people who share the same cultural background, who recognize the same foods, the same dialect, the same attitudes -- and meybe if I hang around long enough I'll identify myself when asked as a Mudcatter. My greatgrandmother lived in Leeds and was called Jane Gordon! - but she was the daughter of refugees from Russia (I think). Does that count for the survey?
