Don't you wish. You can run but you can't hide from Pirsig's words: "Neither is there a quarrel between the Metaphysics of Quality and the "teleological" theories which insist that life has some purpose." You may quarrel until the cows come home, but it won't change one wit what Pirsig said. ------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through IMP: http://horde.org/imp/ Moq_Discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
