Ian and all:

Platt reinforces DMB.
I almost predicted that in my response to Marsha, but I ran out of courage.
DMB, Platt, you two do have souls, don't you ?
I really do not get you, and it bugs me (my problem not yours)
It's either monumental conservatism, or an amazingly well disuised sense of
humour. I'm still praying (oops sorry, hoping) for the latter.

Huh? I honestly don't know what you're saying. I don't see how Platt
reinforces anything I said. In fact, I was complaining about various kinds
of reactionaries. While Platt is certainly no hippie, he is most definately
a reactionary of the worst kind. Entering hippiedom would be an improvement
in his case.
But more importantly, what is it you don't get? Don't you think Pirsig's
attempt to unite art and technology, to convince his bohemian friends of its
value, is a clear sign that returning to nature is not the answer? We want
to beautify our most advanced evolutionary achievements, not turn our backs
and return to the beauty of the past, right?
And no, I do not have a soul. As I understand it, neither do you or anyone
else because there is no such thing.
I guess being against degeneracy makes me a conservative in some sense of
the word, but my stance toward the political ideology that calls itself
conservative in America could be fairly well described as contempt. They are
a different sort of degenerate, not a nature-loving kind, but a intellect
hating kind, which I see as much more dangerous because they already have so
much power and want even more.
As for my sense of humor, that's best judged by others but I can tell you
that I crack myself up and generally have a jolly good time putting little
surprizes in my posts. Remember the one about the inflatable Buddha love
doll? I laughed so hard I cried. So even if no one else is amused, I very
much enjoy it. I know. Its pathetic. But there it is.
Anyway, as is often the case, I'm not following you.
