"Thanks again for your understanding. What I mean is, most times I don't send 
posts like this one. They are relegated to the drafts folder. I am not sure 
why this one was sent. It shouldn't have been. It was a mistake on my part. 
Sorry.

Regards,

Dan"

     i'm really glad that you took the time to answer my post and blow off steam <s> at the same 
time. 
Yesterday while looking for your book i found a first print copy of Lila and ordered your book.
 
Maybe there is something that i'm not only not getting about MOQ
and/but at the same time expecting from The Metaphysics
of Quality in general, also not getting "it"....whatever "it" is.
 Thinking about it more 
over the last few days with the feedback from you, SA, 
and Margaret, it occured to me that on a personal individual level 
The MOQ has been used in a "practical" way so to speak by many and it makes sense
to see that those individual accomplishments, off-spring of MOQ potentially reach out into
and effect the social level perhaps effecting change. This is the pre Henry Ford method of
doing good.
i looked up the word "practical"
 
Practical: http://www.answers.com/practical
Of, relating to, governed by, or acquired through practice or action, rather than theory, speculation, or ideals: gained practical experience of sailing as a deck hand.
   4. Capable of being used or put into effect; useful:
As a group of people inspired by a man and his books ( the philosophy ) 
we see and hear of individuals who have taken the philosophy and put it to practical use. 
As a group Greenpeace for instance has individuals who practice their philosophy as individuals 
AND as a collective effort. They are united in their efforts to effect the type of change 
in the world that lends itself to environmental awarness and respect. 
My vision is that The Metaphysics of Quality can evolve ( someone doesn't like that word in this
group ) or morph into a United MOQ of sorts ( One that exemplifies the characteristics of or 
serves a similar function to another...  http://www.answers.com/sorts #3 )
 
Here's a story plot that has a ready made audience and market ( important word here: MARKET )
This esoteric group of people inspired by a person and book that has often been called "cult"
meet at all hours of the day and night in a mail-box somewhere in virtual space (aka the internet)
They discuss this philosophy but never think about stepping off the page en-masse and out of the book...
this space has existed for years. One of the members decides to hijack the philosophy and
"make it his/her own" ( i've heard it said that Osama bin Laden hijack Islam; philosophy morphed to
support a cause)
Nietzsche wrote after proclaiming that "God is Dead": "Is not the magnitude of this deed too great for us? 
Shall we not ourselves have to become Gods, merely to seem worthy of it? 
There never was a greater event - and on account of it, 
all who are born after us belong to a higher history than any history hitherto."
Hitler said: "Damn right"
Well, for God sake <g> maybe our HERO who hijacks MOQ will put the MORP_MOQ to "good use" from
the light side vs the dark side knowing
all the while that there will always be a counter_force; oppos_i-shun...that's a cosmic given,
a "law" so to speak; the
im_perfection sewn into the finest of Persian carpets. The common thread.
Maybe you can keep the fact that it is based on ZMM, LILA, and moq.org a secret; just leak the
info out and deny it at the same time. MOQ at it's shineiest!
i can hear the groans and laughter now.
See that floppy hat on my head with the puffy ball at the tip.
A fool can say anything.
