Ron, SA, Yes, that is the classic argument for tolerating contributions from "the old plant" to prick at our prejudices ... that is entirely welcome from anyone ... and indeed Pirsig himself referred to Platt's role that way in Lila's Child, and for several years after that I too defended (and enjoyed) Platt's perogative ..... but
Platt does not actually play that role with any honesty; he misuses that tolerance to load his own prejudices to turn every discussion into a polarized argument, and then avoids honest debate when it arises. It locks us into a static pattern, and stifles evolution. It has gone on long enough, Horse. Ian On 7/18/07, Ron Kulp <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > [SA previously] > but now I see.
