Oh, I don't know. The Truth is that (for instance) men and women are
equal; that one race or religious grouping must not discriminate
against another. And so on. Or do you think that "truths" like this can
change and a time will come when men have more (or fewer) rights than
women? Or will it be all right for one ethnic group to oppress another,
in the name of politics or religion?
It truth IS relative, then the majority rules. There is nothing, nothing
at all, that can be construed as an absolute right if truth is relative
and the majority rule. Actually, it would be the "powerful" rather than
the majority.

Truth is not a universal, it is relative - as is the audience you
espouse ' your' opinions to - you contradict yourself ...
