Growing up in the Deer Run area I detested wilderness. I went to an elementals school by the name of Pete Gallego; it is located on the outskirts of Eagle Pass and we didn’t have to go far to see vast wilderness.

Reaction to “Babel Runs Backward” I found this article to be incredibly enlightening. I was moved by the idea that there are thousands of languages spoken today that may not be spoken tomorrow.
