Hi Marsha,

In the MOQ, values and morals are synonyms. Thus, value judgments are moral
judgments. In Note 124 of Lila's Child, Pirsig explains the pervasiveness of
morality. "You can't even get out of bed in the morning without making a value
judgment that it is better to do so.  The question is, 'Why can't some people
see that a value judgment is in operation?' Or, to put it better, 'Why do they
see it but insist that they do not see it?'  This was the question that haunted
Phaedrus in his English classes in Bozeman."
