    All,

    >Were I into tattoos, on the back of my left hand I would inscribe "Some
    >things are better than others" and on the back of my right hand "I may not

    If I could interject a (naive, I'm thinking) question:

    Would changing the sentence to "some things are more moral than others"
    have any interpretative effect on Pirsig's meaning?

    And, apart from immorality arising from lower-levels devouring
    higher-levels, can the MOQ say anything about which (of several things) is
    "more moral"?

    (This may be rephrasing what has been talked about, if so I apologize, I'm
    somewhat overwhelmed this summer with work and am having a hard time
    keeping up with the posts :-))

    In brief, can the MOQ (or *should* the MOQ) lay any claim to whether
    Vivaldi is "better" or "more moral" than Marilyn Manson?
