Are you defined by where you were born or what/where/how you want your 
spirit and energy to be directed? I could argue both sides and feel like I 
had a losing argument.

Gene,  I think the latter way is the "right" way.  I think each individual 
person should make of themselves what they will,  and not allow any of the 
rest of us to put them in a box.  For example,  I see someone who moves from 
another country to the US and identifies as an American is just as American 
as anyone else.  I don't know all the details of Baker's life,  but my 
impression was that once she went to France she felt at home there,  for a 
variety of reasons,  and I believe that she herself indentified as 
French....if it worked for her, that's good enough for me.
