Arlo, Mark, Mary, Marsha, DMB, Mary called it an "entre" I call it between a rock and hard place.
Mark said to Arlo "Get a grip". I have to say I've had that sentiment in this (and similar) thread for a while. And the others interpreted each others quotes. thus : Arlo quoted Marsha: "In fact, when proposed that I could perhaps interpret ZMM and Lila in a way different from some, this was also met with incredulity. Any good book has multiple interpretations, and nobody has rights to the correct interpretation." Arlo said: ... I think a sentiment like "it's all interpretation" is readily evident. In a world where nobody has rights to the correct interpretation, please tell me how Ron's "interpretation" of Pirsig's MOQ supporting rape and torture would be dismissed? dmb says: I guess Marsha thinks that interpretive freedom means never having to answer any criticism. It means you don't have to worry about making sense. Imagine how much work that would save! How how lonely that would be. Ian says, I just want to bring this debate up a level, it's all so interpersonal, and as Mary suggests you have to question people's motives in the twisted sarcsasm before even looking at the words and the subject matter. Ian What's so funny 'bout ....
