		In Honduras, the percentage of voters amongst the population with the right to vote was 68.3 percent, higher than the Latin-American average at 62.7 percent.
		This makes Honduras one of the Latin-American countries with the most unequal distribution of wealth, even though it is one of only a few countries that has managed to narrow the gap between 1990 and 2000.
		We all have an equally clear perception of the lack of correspondence between the Honduras in which we live and the Honduras, which was designed, as a humanist state, in the Republic's constitution.

		The Plains are characterized by treeless expanses crossed by broad, shallow river valleys.
		The chief continental divide is the western cordillera and because rivers rising on the east slopes have a long way to go to the sea, it follows that the drainage basins of these large rivers (such as the Mackenzie) are enormous.
		Whilst the rivers flowing east are the largest, the rivers flowing west (the Colorado, Columbia, and the Frazer), cutting through the western cordillera, are the most spectacular.

		What they neglected to realize was that under their stewardship the good ship Honduras had sprung leaks, drifted onto some rocks, and left many of her passengers poor if not starving.
		This is a country where hope is in short supply, its people deal in realities not dreams, they don’t buy into politicians’ promises but they do remember their mistakes and when the time comes, they vote not to promote the incoming but to punish the outgoing.
		Honduras, unfortunately, was one of the victims of that over-spending on the military, to the detriment of education, health, housing, transportation, and other spending so desparately needed.

	GEO-1: Chapter 2: Regional Perspectives: Latin America and the Caribbean: Major Environmental Concerns
		The rivers of this region are being polluted by a number of different sources, but the most important ones are industrial and urban wastewaters from large industrial cities, wastewater from mining industries, and agricultural runoff.
		The transport of eroded soils to the sea by rivers has led to the increased turbidity of coastal waters, placing an increasing amount of stress on coastal ecosystems such as coral reefs, particularly along the Caribbean coast of Panama, Costa Rica, and Nicaragua (UNEP, 1994).
		At the same time, land pressures and urban poverty mean that communities are often built near industrial plants that dump their wastes into the rivers, the seas, or onto the nearby land, and that pollute the air.
