    It kills me to see you keep repeating the same old quotes from Pirsig to
    support your thesis that the MoQ supports Communism and socialism
    over capitalism and the free enterprise system when Pirsig clearly,
    directly and succinctly says:

    "What makes the free-enterprise system superior is that the socialists,
    reasoning intelligently and objectively, have inadvertently closed the
    door to Dynamic Quality in the buying and selling of things." (17)

    Face the fact. Free-enterprise system SUPERIOR.

    So every time you try to foster the misleading impression that Pirsig
    favors some intellectual socialist program to re-engineer society, I'll
    repeat his approval of DQ-rich capitalism. Anti-capitalism, anti-freedom
    explains much about "what in the world is going on."
