    David,
    I think you've been brain washed by conventionality. I
    would'nt rush to honor the opinions of medical doctors
    and judges who have never had a Quality experience in
    there lives. Pirsig sat in his pee for three days,
    didn't eat, and let cigarets burn the flesh of his
    fingers, something that to me sounds like a
    "vegitative state". And yet I don't see him trading
    this experience for anything. He saw the face of
    Quality in all its pureness. The actions of Congress
    were right but for all the wrong reasons.

    her.
    Their finding were presented to the judges within the
    rules of evidence
    as
    set by the courts. I think its wrong to dismiss all
    that in favor of
    some
    rather wild speculations about the blissful awareness
    of vegetables or
    the
    will of god. If she can't respond to static quality,
    then what reason
    is
    there to believe she can respond to DQ? No.
