Citizenship Redefined

Citizenship should not be something we are cauterized at birth according to the imaginary line we were born in. It should be a club that we have a choice to join.
It's not enough politicians wooing for our votes; countries should woo us to become their citizens. Governments should work hard to make a place liveable, come up with alluring packages if they want citizens to govern.

You think it's funny?! Well... I'm dead serious. We need to change the rules of the game. It's time. Way past time. Okay, maybe not way past, but it is time to plant this idea in the new generation's brains so that by the time they grow up, the idea comes into leaf and can be implemented.
