    Thanks Kevin. I wish I could respond to your question about the
    public/private split but admit I haven't paid much attention to the idea.
    So I really can't answer except to say I agree with Pirsig:

    "To put philosophy in the service of any social organization or any
    dogma is immoral. It's a lower form of evolution trying to devour a higher
    one." (29)

    I hope that's relevant. As you know, my bias has always been towards
    the individual rather than the group. I'm very wary of anything proposed
    in the name of the "public good" because of the horrors perpetrated
    under that banner.
