Niterói, Rio de Janeiro
Let's start out with my name: Danny Ray Alexander, II. I am infamous for reminding people of my suffix, however, that is what makes unique; my father can't get ALL my credit. In digression, I enjoy philosophy and government. A book that contains a combination of those, is perfect. Outside of philosophy, I enjoy debate; what better way to express my opinions regarding pressing issues such as morality and justice? Last, I take pride in my "go-getter" demeanor. I know what I want, and I plan on achieving it.
