Interesting stuff, thanks everyone. I've never had a 'home', but have always felt that there should be some place that should function as that. This may be because we are soaked in the idea (writing the post, I started a list of works that had that idea in them, but after jotting down 10 or 15, I thought it might be a bit much).
In college, we had a lot of fun with 'my people' and 'your people'. Sarcastic and full of ourselves, you can imagine when we might use it.
I was trying to find a line in a Pico Ayer essay about asking someone, a person who was basically a cosmopolitan, where he was from and him being totally baffled by the question. Couldn't find it, but did find this Tedtalk that might be of interest.
