2 page Mr. A character profile "A is A"

Synopsis The credo behind Mr. A: "A is A. A thing is what it is. No man can have it both ways. Only through black and white principles can man distinguish between good and evil. The principles guide man's basic choice of actions. Men can attempt to choose contradictions. Grey principles, like men can choose to be dishonest, corrupt, but that choice only leads to evil - to self-destructions!"
