[MD] Galileo and the church

[Platt Holden]

Hi Horse,

Your personal attack is not only unbecoming but shows you have lost any
semblance of engaging in quality.conversation. As for biological forces
supported by intellectuals that threaten  society, I refer you to chapter 24
of Lila for Pirsig's assessment and position. The video and audio of the
riots in London speak for themselves without any need for interpretation.
I'm surprised that you apparently support violence by an inflamed mob
against the police and  innocent bystanders. No value there unless the
underlying purpose is to achieve by force what can't be achieved by
democratic means.

Platt.
