**rest of article deleted**

I'll AMEN that pet peeve.  I have children who were born in Fairfax
Hospital, yet their birth certificates state that they were born in Falls
Church, VA simply because Fairfax Hospital has Falls Church as a POSTAL
address.  Now how are they supposed to answer questions on applications of
one sort or another or legal documents regarding their place of birth? 
Truthfully and legally they should identify Fairfax County as their place
of birth but their birth certificate would contradict the truth.
