Is this satire? Maps help people find places, that's the concern?
The only thing that can beat a bad guy with a map is a good guy with a map.
Fuck it, give the students maps
Give the teacher maps
Everyone gets a map!
typical map advocate
what do you think the world will be like if every idiot gets a map?
I firmly believe US Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some people out there in our nation don't have maps and, uh, I believe that our education, like such as in South Africa and uh, the Iraq, and everywhere like such as, and I believe that they should. Our education over here in the US should help the US, uh, or should help South Africa and help the Iraq, and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future, for our children.
