i enjoy a nice old paradox: if a liar tells the truth, is he still lying? and would anybody believe him? maybe. maybe not. i am myself a paradox, i am self-conflicting. i may be insane, i may be delusional. but i am fully aware of it. here is how i reason out: by opposing myself. this is an art. this is my dialectic. i am dave aL. and it's debatable.
