Quite the opposite. Perhaps universal was not the right word. Objective is probably better. In my mind, an objective, or universal (again probably not the best word), truth is something that is true no matter time, space, or any other limitation on this earth. It does not change as people change. It remains constant.
the only objective truths are physics related. in the political world, in the world of moral arguements... things change... and majority rules.
