[MD] A Place for the Principled Person

[Arlo J. Bensinger]

[The Plattman Attempts to Spread Fear]
Right out of Marx. To hell with the harm done to the betrayed partner. The
collective rules all.

[The Jarloker responded to the attempt]
Can you cite a passage in Marx to support your claim? Seems to me the statement
"As long as society is not threatened, picking up bar ladies and writing
metaphysics are a part of life." is right out of Pirsig.

[Plattman gives only more fear]
Does Pirsig, like you, ignore the harm done to the betrayed partner? Like you,
does the collective rule all for Pirsig, too?

[The Jarloker]
Only one point this time (deduction for redundancy) for the classic fear line
"like you, does the collective rule all...". A timeless classic, but for more
points you'll have to be more creative.

Pirsig writes "Getting drunk and picking up bar-ladies and writing metaphysics
is a part of life." As to whether or not Pirsig "ignores" your haughty
Victorian self-righteousness, I'll leave that to those involved. He did no harm
to me, and as far as I can tell, society is chugging along.
