A Postmodern Forecast

Relativism can be related to the weather. I do not like the cold. I am miserable outside when the temperature is cold, and I cannot see how anyone would like it. However, there are people who love the cold and hate to see the temperature rise. This a matter of opinion and preference and not of truth. Say, for example, one day I watched the Weather Channel and saw that the current temperature was 49 degrees. Just then, two of my frends come inside. One cpmplains that the temperature is too cold and the other states that the weather is perfect. The two of them could argue over whether the temperature is too cold or perfect until they both die of TMJ complications. However, there is one thing that all three of us can agree on: the fact that the temperature is 49 degrees. No matter if you like it or not, the fact remains the same. The Weather Channel is a reliable and recognized source. It reports truth, is consistent, and has instruments to prove it.
