Marsha:
If dmb will concede that truth, within the MoQ, is relative I will be satisfied.  

I, too, have often defended 'truth being relative' by saying that that does not 
mean all truths are equal.   I have offered that static patterns of value are 
ranked within the MoQ's evolutionary, hierarchical structure as an example.
