True yesterday, today and in the future:


Yesterday:
"Pilate said to him, True? what is true?
 Having said this he went out again to the Jews
 and said to them, I see no wrong in him."

Today:
We are so thankful that today we are free
to define "True" ourselves using Python 2.x.

Future:
Be warned, the future gets darker!
