Hi All,

If anyone would like to have a serious philosophical discussion about
politics, the place to start on this site devoted to the MOQ is with
Pirsig's claim that the intellectual level demands that a quality
government guarantee the following rights to its citizens:

democracy

trial by jury

habeas corpus

freedom of speech

freedom of the press

freedom of assembly

freedom of travel

free markets

It seems to me that any threat to these guarantees coming from any source,
liberal or conservative, should be strongly resisted by anyone who
believes in the values of the MOQ. Further, any government which renounces
any of these guarantees constitutes a threat to any government which
upholds them.

Best,
Platt
