For some reason the word Homeland, as in the Office of Homeland Security, bothers me. In the past it seems that I've only noticed it used as a place for those who are displaced and need a home. It's ironic that Neil Young uses the word in the song Pocahontas to refer to the lost Native American homeland: 
"Aurora borealis 
The icy sky at night 
Paddles cut the water 
In a long and hurried flight 
From the white man to the fields of green 
And the homeland we've never seen"
