Well no, that is how you
identify
. Many of the characters on Daniel's show "Rescue Me" identify very strongly as Irish, and they were born in America. I identify very strongly as Scottish/Irish, and I was born in Australia and have never even returned to Scotland or Ireland.

Tangled up in our embrace

to fall to fall to fall -
