[MD] empathy

[Frank Booth]

Money is not a social phenomenon.

Money is the best the best salad fork.

Otherwise you will eat with your face in the bowl.

Money is an evolutionary device.

Dan and Craig,

I used to sort of wonder about the biblical admonition about the love of
money being the root of all evil.  I mean really:  ALL evil?  But Pirsig's
MoQ cleared it all up for me for then  I understood the problem to be one of
conflation of value on two different levels.  Money is a social level
phenom, and we should strive for our values to come from a higher level.

tah-dah.  Once again, Pirsig explains the bible in easy-to-understand terms.
