Again, you imply the Hippie movement was more 
moral than Victorian values, but fail to point 
out the reasons why the Hippie movement became a 
colossal failure. Hiding again.

Alright, Platt. That's it. Your distortive little 
rhetorical games have now pissed me off. I'm 
responding to this round, but I am done.

First... the Hippie movement WAS MORE MORAL than Victorian values.

"... from the early seventies on there has been a 
slow confused mindless drift back to a kind of 
pseudo­Victorian moral posture... [but] 
the  Hippie revolution was the moral movement. 
The present period is the collapse of values" (LILA)

Second, I've posted a dozen or more times, 
including LAST NIGHT about where Pirsig talks 
about the Hippie movement going wrong. From my post last night.

------------------------

About Hippies, we know Pirsig said this...

"The Hippies have been interpreted as frivolous 
spoiled children, and the period following their 
departure as a "return to values," whatever that 
means. The Metaphysics of Quality, however, says 
that's backward: the Hippie revolution was the 
moral movement. The present period is the collapse of values." (LILA)

About where the Hippies went wrong, we know Pirsig said this...

"The Hippie rejection of social and intellectual 
patterns left just two directions to go: toward 
biological quality and toward Dynamic Quality. 
The revolutionaries of the sixties thought that 
since both are anti-social, and since both are 
anti-intellectual, why then they must both be the 
same. That was the mistake." (LILA)

We can see from this that the moral trajectory 
SHOULD have been a "rejection of social and 
intellectual patterns... and toward Dynamic Quality."

------------------------

Indeed, my entire post was meant to look at where 
the MORAL MOVEMENT (Hippies) went right while 
considering where they went wrong.

Hardly a "failure to point out" anything. But why 
bother with the facts, Platt. These inane little 
rhetorical games are more fun, aren't they?

Hiding.

Yeah right.

I give up. Find someone new to place with.
