An Appeal to Liberal Sensibilities for Border Security
In the debate over illegal immigration, does anyone ever think of the mapmakers? They spent years getting that line depicting the border between the U.S. and Mexico just right. Every little bump and divot in that line is pregnant with meaning to them. But no one cares. It's like they're life's work doesn't even exist. Illegal immigrants just run into America with no thought to the line those mapmakers spent so much time and care drawing. How can they go home at the end of the day and smile to their family knowing their life's work is meaningless? When a mapmaker's son asks, "Daddy, what do you do at your job?" the mapmaker has to use all his will not break down crying. You'll usually find the mapmakers down at the bar drinking their pain away, talking of a time when those lines on the map meant something. When they meant something. Won't someone think of the mapmakers? 18 Responses To "An Appeal to Liberal Sensibilities for Border Security"
Won't someone think of the mapmakers? Once again Frank I am blown away by your ability to see through a problem and simplify it, and add the human quality to it. Support the Map makers of the world of the world. #2 - Posted by: The Cat Assasin on October 4, 2007 01:01 PM//Every little bump and divot in that line is pregnant with meaning to them.// So the libtards want them to have an abortion? *rimshot!!!*
"I remember when a cartographer was respected! We had the world in our hands!" he yelled like a bad Foster Brooks impression, slopping his scotch on the bar. "Look over at that map! LOOK AT IT! Worthless! It's just like the Pledge of Alligence, a descent movie and Lite Brite! All gone! Ron Paul has more respect then us!" (sigh) #4 - Posted by: Casper the Friendly Host on October 4, 2007 01:24 PMNo, the Libtards just want our southern border erased from the map. Frank, you can show more respect by referring to them as "cartographers," thank you. Jees. #5 - Posted by: on October 4, 2007 01:24 PMSince everything is made in China these days, do you think that one day we'll be able to swing by a Wal Mart and get one of those 'great walls' like China has? I hope Chinese walls aren't tainted like their dog food or children's toys though... #6 - Posted by: ChrisA on October 4, 2007 01:29 PMSo, the immigration crisis is all a conspiracy of cartographers, then? (bonus points for spotting the obscure reference) #7 - Posted by: Gullyborg on October 4, 2007 01:31 PM"Liberal Sensibilities" Isn't that an oxymoron? #8 - Posted by: AlanABQ on October 4, 2007 01:38 PMLeave the mapmakers ALONE! I mean (sob), they're out of work...(sniff). Just quit it, you guys! They're in deep trouble. Don't you have any feelings? They're just trying to make a living... LEAVE THEM ALONE. #9 - Posted by: on October 4, 2007 01:39 PMI know this will seem simplistic but why don't we as a nation build a monument to these unsung heros who toil unceasingly for our protection and geographic education. How about a nice tall, thick, fence with cameras and armed custodians to police it. We wouldn't want anyone to tamper with our tribute. In this way every pregnant curve will give birth to not only thanks to our map makers but to security for our citizens and freedom to our country. I don't know maybe it's just too simple an answer. #10 - Posted by: seanmahair on October 4, 2007 01:43 PMI heard a comedian once say that we should line the border with those plastic sticks they use to separate your groceries at the checkout stand. Nobody every messes with those!! That is one border you never see anyone cross! #11 - Posted by: Clintons Are White Trash on October 4, 2007 02:24 PMSo now I get the liberal mantra behind abortion! Every baby we abort eliminates another possible map maker! Genius Frank! Liberals are so devious and only on IMAO do we understand how they think and develop a counter insurgency! Conservatives need to rally to the flag and make certain that at least 1% of their babies are brought up to be "map makers"... They can easily be pulled from the ranks of Brokerage Firm Statistics Analysts (lowest on the evolutionary scale...and I don't believe in evolution), Bank Auditors, Tax Accountants (EWWW) and finally Tax Attorneys (Yea, like we can't do without a few million of these pricks!)... #12 - Posted by: ussjimmycarter on October 4, 2007 03:59 PMKnow what happens when you cross a pig with a Tax Attorney...nothing... Know what happens when you give a Tax Attorney Viagra...He gets taller... Why do Tax Attorney's wear neckties? Keeps the foreskin from sliding back up... What do you throw a drowning Tax Attorney? His partners... What do you call 25 Tax Attorneys sky diving out of an airplane? Skeet... Sorry...my experience during my drinking days was not good with lawyers and I still retain strong resentments...Pricks!!! #13 - Posted by: ussjimmycarter on October 4, 2007 04:06 PMIronically enough, by far the most famous American cartographer is the late Erwin Raisz, a Harvard professor and a legal immigrant from Hungary. If the borders are being ignored, you can bet it is a border best illustrated by a Raisz Landform Map. (No, I'm not related in any way to Dr. Raisz, his map company, or, thank God, Harvard University!) #14 - Posted by: Yeta on October 4, 2007 05:01 PMThank you Frank, for standing up for cartographers the US over. I feel I will finally get the respect I deserve as a mapmaker now. You have brought our plight to the forfront and I vow to move the border 1 inch to the south every time I update my base file. #15 - Posted by: kerrcarto on October 4, 2007 05:54 PMFrank, you're still not fully understanding Liberals. How they feel about people who make maps will depend upon the following: 1) Does the Liberal get free maps? If not, then who cares. 2) Is the map maker black or gay? If so, the government must subsidize map making. 3) How much do the people who make maps make? If it's more than the Liberal, they are evil and deserve to die. 4) Will the map maker have sex with the Liberal? If not, they are evil and deserve to die. 5) Does the map maker support abortion? If not, they are evil and deserve to die. Without these key answers or talking points from Hillary or Bill Clinton, Harry Reid or Nancy Pelosi, the Liberal is defenseless in his or her attempt to respond to your question...other than blaming Bush, which is always a given. #16 - Posted by: Son of Bob on October 5, 2007 01:38 AMDid anyone remember the SURVEYORS? Those poor guys went out their and ACTUALLY measured those bumps for some poor cartographer. Nice office, state-of-the-art computer, coffee at will. Try being a surveyor sweating your fanny off out in the hot sun fending off rattle snakes with a field book. #17 - Posted by: Harold 32001 on October 5, 2007 11:48 AMDid anyone remember the SURVEYORS?
