This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for September 02, 2008:
Living with hoards of adolescents and teenagers, this question has had its share of recent dinner and drivng discussion. The summer 08 consensus is this:
1. If you ask someone "is there such a thing as absolute truth?" and they respond "no", your reply ought to be: "so is that an absolute truth?"
2. The statement: "I always lie" is a paradox.
As for facts, well heck, those are a dime a dozen and none worth a penny once outside the bounds of earth's gravitaional pull.
