Nor do you agree with Pirsig:

"What makes the free-enterprise system SUPERIOR is that the socialists, 
reasoning intelligently and objectively, have inadvertently closed the door to 
Dynamic Quality in the buying and selling of things." (Lila, 17, emphasis 
added)

It's perfectly OK to disagree with Pirsig, until you say and show evidence that 
he allows an SOM interpretation of the intellectual level. Then you become a 
persona non grata. 

  
Ron:

". From a static point of view SOCIALISM IS MORE MORAL THAN CAPITALISM.
 It's a higher form of evolution. It is an intellectually guided society, 
not just a society that is guided by mindless traditions. That's what 
gives socialism its drive. "
 
"the conservatives who keep trumpeting about the virtues of free enterprise 
are normally just supporting their own self-interest. They are just doing the
 usual cover-up for the rich in their age-old exploitation of the poor"
 
-Lila ch17 EMPHASIS MY OWN   
 
The same old quotes we keep throwing in your face Platt.
We can fuck around with interpretations forever but at the 
end of the day yours just doesent hold water.
plain and simple.
 
Your tired old rhetoric just doesent cut it.
