Truth (another article we have fought to the death over) does sometimes
relate to consensus other times not, often most folks can be wrong about
something. It is seldom different for each person, individuals, athough they
exist, are rare; rather it is different for social groups similarly
situated, for example, the most enlighted wealthy people firmly believe in
private property, and not just as an afterthought.

Theresa : Every person has their own version of "truth".
Well, I don't know what exactly is "truth", I don't know if it covers
much more than "2+2=4", but I'm sure that it's not helping much to say
it
would be different for each person. By definition, it's supposed to be
shared by everybody. Am I mistaking?
