Peter T. Daniels: a young man who lost brother and sister to
a civil war and barely escaped a personal attack on his life
in a refugee camp across the border and was forced to flee -
can't he be called a fugitive, someone who flees from danger?
I gave that young man private lessons from 1999 to early 2004.
He is bright, eagerly learning, hard working, and in return
to my lessons he taught me about Islam, not so much in words
but by way of example. You shall recognize them by their fruit,
the Bible says. He is a very reasonable man, and most upset by
the leaders of the Islamic world, who, he says, abuse religion.
His girlfriend from here read the Quran and simply said: the
same as the Bible ... We have to support good people everywhere
and from everywhere if we wish to cope with the global problems
we are facing now and in the future (my personal credo).

This afternoone at 15:15 Middle European Time I have to appear
before the judge of the peace. I have to show up in person,
while Jean Faucounau is represented by his attorney-at-law
Dr.iur. Marcel Rochaix of www.ekbt-law.ch. If I am not willing
to pay at least 8,487 Swiss francs I shall have me a regular
lawsuit that will cost me at least 20,000 Swiss francs, and
you can bet I won't see Jean Faucounau at court neither; it
will in all probability again be Dr. Marcel Rochaix. Always
hiding, that Faucounau: behind his pseudonym grapheus, behind
his lawyer Dr. Marcel Rochaix.

Here is my advice for people who are stalked and sued by their
Faucounau grapheus Rochaix. Also useful for students who have
to absolve their examinations. Let me tell you about my last
weeks in school, when we were preparing for the Matura, the
examinations one has to absolve if one wishes to study at
a Swiss university. Well, three weeks before the Matura our
French teacher, a friendly and witty man, told us: Close your
books, you won't learn anything anymore, it's too late now.
Instead he told us about construction working in America.
There is a tribe of red Indians who are free of vertigo,
and men of this tribe are emplyed for building scyscrapers.
Now it came to pass that one of those Indians fell from the
top of a scyscraper, hit the sun-shade of a fruit store, ripped
through the fabric, fell into a heap of oranges, and survived
-- a miracle! When he regained conscience in the hospital he
told the nurses and doctors about his journey all the way down
from the top of the scyscraper: the curtains he saw behind one
window, the flowers behind another one, the people in this room,
in that room, in yet another roon -- plenty of details and
impressions, much as we remember a landscape from traveling
by train, only that his journey lasted seconds instead of hours.
In moments of great danger, our French teacher went on, the brain
is alert and achieves things we would never hold as possible
under normal circumstances, in everyday life. We shall see when
we are standing outside of the room waiting to be called in
for an examination. We will go through fearful moments, however,
that fear is nothing else than our brain summoning all its
powers, and when the door opens and we are called in and walk
over the treshold it will subside and give way to a clear head,
and we will know things we never knew we know. This will happen
if we are well prepared for the examination, and, very important,
if we don't swallow sedation pills. Taking pills would be the
worst we can do; we just have to go through that sort of stage
freight if our brain should perform the surprise of an upwelling
knowledge we never knew we had ... And so it was. We had to
endure the fear in front of an examination room, but when the
door opened, we heard our name pronounced and stepped over the
treshold, the fear fell from us, we felt light and easy going,
and the answers formed almost by themselves ...

I will remember this today, while waiting to be called in before
the judge of the peace.
