Yes! That first part, exactly! I was *born* here, I've lived here my whole life. There are places in the world that I might like to visit, sure, but there are places here where I want to *live*. And sure, I might want to live in different places *within* this country, but I like speaking english and driving on the right side of the road. 

Maybe, in the fullness of time, I might decide one day that I would like to live somewhere else, but that is *not* a decision that I want to be informed by a terror of a giant bureaucratic organization that might kill or imprison me.

Plus, I really really suck at learning new languages. I've tried, and I'm sure I *could* learn them, but I can't find any kind of lessons or method of learning that doesn't bore the crap out of me way before I get out of the beginning stages. Maybe if I hired a tutor, but damn, I aint rich.
