Anycock, I was shopping at Whole Foods today, because I'm not a barbarian. Whilst in the parking lot I saw a Hyundai Sonata (first car that came to mind, probably not the actual make and/or model) with an interesting bumper sticker. The sticker read "Without Geography, You Are Nowhere". I would say that about 99.9% of the time bumper stickers convey the drivers opinions about a topic that is wildly debated and significantly topical. Some examples include "No Blood For Oil", "Support Our Troops", the Jesus fish with legs that says "Darwin" in it (Darwin believed Jesus had fish legs? I don't fully understand that one, but I know it's thought provoking), and of course the "DMB" in the white circle. Because I am aware of this knowledge it makes me wonder why I have not known about the Anti-Geography movement until now. If there is an upper-class Montclairian out there with a bumper sticker that supports geography then clearly there are geography naysayers out there. That means there are geographobes out roaming the streets who wouldn't think twice about cunningly catching and killing a cartographer in cold blood (alliteration!).
"FUCK YOU MAP!"
I for one support geography. Although I cannot successfully show someone where each of the 50 United States go on a map, I do have a love for GPS systems and enjoy calling Maine "America's Catcher's Mit". So this is a warning to all you Geography Nazi's out there...
You better skip town and skip town fast. If you need a map let me know...(*gun noises*)... motherfucker
