Something about today ...

I got an email from a recruiter today. He told me a about a job opportunity about a company. Its the same company I work for already. Ironic? Plus, I got an official document today. As usual, it confused my country of birth with my country of citizenship. I guess, most people assume that a person born in a country is automatically a native (and hence a citizen) of that country, even though his or her parents may be there only temporarily. This (among other things) raises an important question, should origin really become such a fundamental determinant in an age when people come and go with so much ease?
