[MD] Decision

[X Acto]

One side justifys their beliefs by rejecting half of Pirsigs work

the other justifys their beliefs by the inclusion,and consistentcy
of all of Pirsigs work.

They are able to give explanations for why they value this interpretation

while the other can not give an explanation outside the interpretive factor.

one is narrow and exclusive the other broad and inclusive.

one side is a better explanation than the other.

To begin the dialog, lets ask.

If SOL does not have greater explanatory power and does not
expand the intellectual level, what "Good" is it?

John is in the house tonight.

Hi,

It was pointed out to me that many believe I resigned last night, when all I
was doing was quoting Gavin's resignation speech from March.  Yeah, I know,
the shrugs are cool with me, but some of you will have to keep the catcalls
to a minimum. ;)

Thanks for working on the 'space' issue, John.  If we can get a space opened
up where half the people here are not accused of lying, we might have a real
discussion soon.

I'm optimistic.

Best,
Mary
