Hi David,

As Pirsig says, all decisions are moral decisions. Do I set the alarm for 
6 AM or 7AM? Which would be better? Which would be good? Which would be
right? Moral decisions. Or as Ayn Rand put it:

"You who prattle that morality is social and that man would need no morality on a
desert island–it is on a desert island that he would need it most. Let him try to
claim, when there are no victims to pay for it, that a rock is a house, that sand is
clothing, that food will drop into his mouth without cause or effort, that he will
collect a harvest tomorrow by devouring his stock seed today–and reality will wipe
him out, as he deserves; reality will show him that life is a value to be bought and
that thinking is the only coin noble enough to buy it." --Atlas Shrugged

Platt
