Khoo,

Those on either the political left or right can find in Lila and Pirsig's other 
writings support for both. I would simply observe that his emphasis on 
freedom and DQ in Lila, and his endorsement of the free market, 
appears to reflect the conservative position. But, then again, I'm biased.

Best regards,
