Ian said to Platt:MoQ Support for the free market is plain and clear (as I said). What is being misrepresented in propaganda is what a "free market" is.
dmb says: It's not even true, let alone plain and clear. Platt's misrepresentations depend on ignoring the difference between social quality and intellectual quality. Pirsig discusses socialism and capitalism in terms of the struggle between those two levels of static quality and he does so at length. In the language of common sense, Platt's contention is simply that the buying and selling of things is more important and more moral than human rights while the MOQ says that such a view is wrong in both senses of the word, both incorrect and immoral. _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail® has ever-growing storage!
