Hi all,

I thought you might like to know that I am still following all this (or
maybe not).
I will eventually post something on the lines that SOM is contemporary
society's way of defining reality - i.e. forcing it's definition of reality
on its members. Pirsig's Quality (Man is the Measure) places the focus of
reality on INDIVIDUAL experience.

I think that sums up the rebellious nature of the MoQ, as illustrated by the
Rigel/Phaedrus argument at the start of Lila.

As an aside . . .

ERIN
Well there isn't a grammar in any language that strays from
subject-verb-object
(only the order strays).

SQUONK
Is this the case with Hebrew also?

Yes. Hebrew has very definite distinctions between subject and objects,
though the subject-object-verb order isn't very rigid.
Subjects and objects often appear as prefixes or suffixes to verbs.

Now back to other things . . . (on this Eve of At-One-ment).

Jonathan
