...I'm reading Platt's latest musings. He's decidedly lucid and hops along
in a generally concise manner, but via empty platitudes of which I usually
disagree and then, something simple and beautiful happens,..I sit back and
think, "whoa, was that Platt or Kurt Vonnegut?" ...After that brief moment
in which it's possible just maybe I've gotten this Platt fellow all wrong, I
get back to reading the remainder of his message and the next bit will go
something like: ...and all fans of rock 'n' roll are degenerate,
commie-Satanists...and I think, "whoa, Platt or Archie Bunker?"

You've captured it exactly. I mean, pirsig compared Platt to a Zen archer.
He's blindfolded. Can't see a damn thing. And yet, at least once in a while,
he hits the center of the target exactly. You'll notice this kind of
marksmanship never occurs when he's talking politics, but you gotta give the
guy some credit.
