It figures. But, I never quite figured out what Pirsig meant by a moral revolution in specific terms. Any different from Christian compassion and love thy neighbor? Or, did he mean recognition and acceptance of the MOQ? Or more street performances, as you seem to suggest? (I saw a lot of that while stationed in New Orleans and was less than impressed.) By a moral revolution I thought he meant a broader understanding of the role social values played in keeping biological values like terrorism at bay. But, I could be wrong. ------------------------------------------------- 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/
