Dann:
 Funny enough, in fact I am not a man of too strong convictions about almost
nothing. I tend to be convinced by the last elegant, intelligent argument it
happens I lesson. And I am very good at seeing the other side and so to become
somewhat doubtfoul of my own ideas of yesterday. So my only one conviction is;
truth is multifaceted thing and our truth is ever local and parcial, if sometime
that is enough for our purposes.
