Geography is life.

It was my first time at the hill (Capitol Hill that is, because EVERYONE refers it that way ^.^) today and what I found out to be a pretty liberating experience. Some of us interns were assigned to go to out of state legislators and meet with them. Our goal was to pass out maps and letters from the president of NatGeo showing the importance of geography literacy. We were trying to gain support from the congressman and senators. At first I thought, wait a second they're not teaching geography in school anymore? I found that pretty sad. How exactly do people know how to get anywhere without geography education. Why do you think we have maps or GPS? Just a random tangent I know.
