Hi Krimel, Chris, and all,

Pirsig¹s books were widely read.  One of his insights was that ³Culture
hands us a set of glassesŠ²  There is a duality in my reality.  I have  an
undefined, conscious reality, and a defined conscious/mechanical reality.
Easy enough to get confused. Some of my behavior is motivated by both
mechanical and conscious elements.  Holy hell! Read a few posts on the MOQ!
I have been in treatment with a counselor.  Pirsig was treated with shock
treatments. Moldy cud of gum!

I do not know if insanity is worse than war!  They give you medals for going
to war!  I didn¹t get one.  They let me out honorably and said I was OK.
HAhahahahahaha!

Joe
