La clase espanol

Yes, it is true. We have begun classes every Wednesday night with the end goal of speaking and writing spanish fluently. Tonight was our third class. Our profesor assures us that within six months we will be capable of communicating effectively. He is a recent Venezualian immigrant who was a college professor in his home country. He now lives here in Pennsylvania with his children and studies and tutors privately. So far, so good: we have learned a number of words and phrases, and this week our assignment is to learn to count from 0-100. Es muy bien.

"PRIDE GOES BEFORE DESTRUCTION" AND IN OUR MODERN ERA, PRIDE AMONG THE NATURAL SCIENCES HAS TAKEN THE FORM OF OVERESTIMATING OUR KNOWLEDGE, OF ARROGATING FOR SCIENCE A KIND OF OMNISCIENCE THE WE DO NOT IN FACT HAVE. OR, TO REFINE IT A BIT: "PLAYING GOD" MEANS WE CONFUSE THE KNOWLEDGE WE DO HAVE WITH THE WISDOM TO KNOW HOW TO USE IT.
