By the way I think Pirsig suggests we can kill germs to save people
not just kill germs for sport, fun or a laugh. Germs have a value
but one lower than people. Perhaps immoral to kill all
germs as this would then make higher levels impossible as
they depend on germs in the gut, etc. Sure you realise this point.
Now eat up your good germs.
