[Platt to Ben] I've been battling the static point of view ever since. [Arlo] What fails to get is that supporting a "free market economy" does not demand that all things (people, health, education, etc.) be reduced to market commodities. There are some things that are more important than "market forces", and should not be regulated by a market; the value of people's lives, for example, and "access to information" (which is why it is moral for society to fund public libraries).
Platt makes the funny claim that his position is "Dynamic", but Pirsig nailed it as a "slow confused mindless drift back to a kind of pseudo-Victorian moral posture". It is movement alright, movement backwards. And it is this is has been arguing for ever since. 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/
