    I don't think you have to be omnipotent to tell good from evil, right from wrong
    and act accordingly. Instead of relying on what other's say, or on tablets
    handed down from the omnipotent, Pirsig offers a rational way to make
    moral decisions. For me that's better than going along with the crowd or
    obeying a ghost.

    Sorry. I plead guilty to wanting to get in the last word. Not really
    immoral of me, but uncouth I admit.

    Stay safe.
