Kenneth Boyd,

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you on this, but I've been
going back and forth wondering how deeply I want to get into this
discussion, seeing that it's so difficult. I finally figured "What
the Hell." and decided to jump in.

I don't think we have any choice but to take time into consideration.
Like love, most truth is not eternal.

: However, my heuristics suggest that Absolute Truth constrains Objective
: Relativity, and that Objective Reality constrains TRTH, above.

This makes me sound like a Philosophy Professor: What do you mean by
"Absolute Truth"?
