Elliot:
It's your moral obligation to murder someone who's trying to murder you?
I'm sure many people agree with you but i dont believe pirsig ever says
this, nor is it even implied. infact, i think the MoQ morality says it's
immoral to ever kill another individual (possesor of wisedom and
individuality). I dont see anything in the MoQ that says you are better
than the attempting murderer and that he deserves to die and that you don't.

DMB says:
You're taking issue with a comment noboby made. And if that weren't
illogical and irrational enough, you're saying that a murder should just be
allowed to kill me? Its hard to imagine how anyone could be more wrong. Are
you insane, or just pulling my leg??
