[MD] What all is about.

[ARLO J BENSINGER JR]

[Platt]
Another trap of little quality is described succinctly by Toynbee: 

". . . or by programs guaranteed to render an ideal projected future . . ."

Politicians of all stripes -- take note.  

[Arlo]
Yes, by all means. And also take not to another trap of little quality Toynbee
describes.

"... schism in the soul, schism in the body social, will not be resolved by any
scheme of return to the good old days (archaism)"

Course, it sucks when you have ideologues offering these two as the only
possible solutions. 

Politicians of all strips -- take note.

By the way, no response on answering where I said that "indecency" is "high
quality"?

[Platt]
Society could do worse. Compared to the "modern" 20th century, the 19th was a
picnic.

[Arlo]
Maybe. But I agree with Pirsig. Society can do better.
