Hello Arlo.

Good question.  Because the word _quality_ connotes value how can the
source of all not be moral?
 
Consider a similarly deep question.  If the ultimate source connotes anything
does it also connote the thing's opposite?  If not then what is the source of the
opposite?
 
I responded to Marsha's question the way I did because, for me, the ultimate
source is the source of all things; good, bad, life, death, loss, renewal, etc.
The judgement of moral or immoral is our doing.  I believe this is what Pirsig
meant when he said Quality is the source of all and man is the measure of all.
