He shoots... he truths!

Rockamellon:  So it is resolved then?

Socrato:  What is resolved?

Rockamelon:  The truth.  Have we discovered that there is no value in the world except that which can be assigned a monetary value?

Socrato:  Are you satisfied with what we have found?

Rockamellon:  If I, as per your recommendation, stifle my opinion, Socrato - then yes, I feel that we have indeed arrived at the truth that money is the only measure of value in the world.  Are you satisfied?

Socrato:  No.  Let us see if we can make the value something else.

Rockamellon:  I don't follow you.

Socrato:  Let us go find someone else to draw into our conversation and in so doing, let us reveal some new truth to them.

Rockamellon:  Is there not but one truth of each matter, Socrato?  If we have uncovered money is the answer the will not money always be the answer?

Socrato:  Will our truth not be all the more truthful if we confirm it with someone else, Rockamellon?

Rockamellon:  I suppose so but from the way you spoke of our search you made it sound as though you wanted the truth to be something else.

Socrato:  Are you, once again, accusing me of having an agenda?  A truth bending agenda?  To what end would I, as a lover of wisdom, seek to bend the truth?

Rockamellon:  I know not... unless perhaps you think there is some truth behind bending the truth.

Socrato:  That sounds like a most interesting discussion, friend Rockamellon.  But let us save it for another time for here I see our mutual friend Hadison.  Let us see what he thinks of value.
