Truth

It's that time of year again...every other commercial on television is for one hopeful elected individual or another. Each ad blasts the opponent, stating that he or she voted for a certain bill that may have caused harm to the public. The opponent retorts in his or her ad claiming that he or she did in fact NOT vote for that bill and, in addition, did something better that far outweighs all other "dirt" that could be dug up.

This got me to start thinking about truth. Have we gotten to the point in time where the truth is so gray that we cannot even trace it back to an ounce of reality? Is it true that this person did a certain thing...or are they just telling you what they think you want to hear in order to sway your vote? Is it possible to dig deep into it enough to discover whether or not a person has any moral foundation whatsoever--or have the moral grounds become so gray that we cannot determine this either?

Here's the BIG question: Is everything relative, including the truth?
