I intended to lurk for a while but just couldn't resist when I saw Mr. 
Holden's comments.  Too outrageous to be silent.  I've noticed an insurgence 
of Libertarian ideology being forced into mailing lists everywhere I go.  I 
think it has to do with the growing realization of the death of Republican 
and Conservative ideology in the US.  It's a grasping of straws so to speak, 
man the lifeboats, and Libertarianism is the only thing that hasn't been 
sunk yet.

I wish I could comment.  I'm fairly uneducated.  I did live in Denmark for a 
year though and I know people who are going through their folk schools.  I 
remember reading some brochures about the schools.   I discovered Pirsig in 
1998 a year after I left Denmark and I'm still trying to integrate his 
ideas.
