[MD] The Empire and other deliberations

[Woods Woods]

Andre,

     The U.S. culture is very, very sexually driven.  Sex, sex, sex.  It's the dominant theme in advertising and comes out in pop music.  This pop music is very important in how this shapes.  The youth don't listen to their parents that much, but will listen to Brittany Spears.  Lust and greed.  This ties together very well as the immoral track this culture is on.  This immoral track is river bed guiding where this mainstream culture is going.  A good example of this was that recent scandal involving gov't officals and oil executes.  The oil executes would get gov't benefits and in return this greed for more profit turned into sexual favors and drug pleasures, too.

No Marsha,
But that is just my point, I firmly believe Pirsig gave us that point of
view. I said in my introductory remarks that Pirsig had "given me a
voice". ZMM and Lila is filled with concern for eachother and not only our
own thinking for ourselves. My point is that our thinking does not only
arise out of ourselves...the intellectual level is grounded and has found
its birth in a consideration for social paterns of value. Some however have
their residue in the organic level. As in my example of greed ( call it
Lust)
I hope I have not misuderstood your point or what you tried to make clear to
me.
