[MD] Reap the whirlwind

[Platt Holden]

Hi All:

Europe is now experiencing the results of static socialism. Young people 
are rioting in Greece and discontent is spreading throughout the continent. 
A brief review of what is happening and why can be read at:

Lest we have new readers it is well to present a reminder of what Pirsig 
said about socialism:

"From a static point of view socialism is more moral than capitalism. It's 
a higher form of evolution. It is an intellectually guided society, not 
just a society that is guided by mindless traditions. That's what gives 
socialism its drive. But what the socialists left out and what has all but 
killed their whole undertaking is an absence of a concept of indefinite 
Dynamic Quality. You go to any socialist city and it's always a dull place 
because there's little Dynamic Quality." (Lila, 17)

Not dull now on the streets of Athens. Ignore DQ and reap the whirlwind.
