Relativism: Where Truth is Like a Movable Feast

According to the great philosopher, Bertrand Russell, "The truth is not a thing that fits into words." But, let's face it, we're stuck with words. So, let's just say that truth is a relative thing, like a big ol' plate of nachos at the local food court. It's only as good as the observer says it is, man.
