Mental Map

A mental map is a persons idea of what a certain space looks like. As all people are different, mental maps differ. A mental map can be a representation of just about anything.
I thought this mental map was kind of funny. It was done from a European perspective (not to say that it is correct) but this is this person's particular mental map of the United States. The geography is general and we have two "successful" cities: LA and NY (the city not the state) and one place to "herd the minorities". The rest of the country is owned by the Bush family. No doubt this map comes on the heels of Hurricane Katrina and the man-made disaster that followed the natural disaster.
