Teaching Math In the nineties: A logger cuts down a beautiful forest because he is selfish and inconsiderate and cares nothing for the habitat of animals or the preservation of our woodlands. He does this so he can make a profit of $20. What do you think of this way of making a living?

The funny thing about spanish is that different regions have different dialects, sometimes even within a small country. It is all spanish and they all understand it, but it is just said differently in different areas. I can carry on a conversation in spanish, but typing it is somewhat of a challenge. I'm not an expert in the language by any stretch of the imagination ;)
