    Hi Ian, JC, and all,

    ian said to platt:
    I just don't get you.

    Actually I have a theory that I do, but ... I'm weighing up how
    constructive it would be to declare it :-) Hence the remark at the
    end of the previous post. Ian

    msh:
    There's not much to get, really. Far from expressing the ideas of a
    unique individual, the political blitherings of the Faux Philosopher
    are repeated ad nauseum, in near unison, by countless millions of
    privileged white people in the USA. Just listen to TFP's primary
    sources of information, Fox News and Rush Limbaugh. There's high
    irony in TFP's continuous appeal for recognition of the individual
    "genius," standing alone in his tireless battle to set the world
    aright.

    Please review the "Moral Society" threads to see how such "original
    thinkers" engage in philosophical discussion. What's sad is that his
    brainless repetition of debunked ideas keeps pouring forth, turning
    this list into just another portal for ill-informed right-wing
    invective. I wonder how many lurkers, having read Pirsig, have come
    and gone without a word when they see such a perversion of RMP's
    philosophy. What a shame.

"We have pacified some thousands of the islanders and buried them; 
destroyed their fields; burned their villages, and turned their 
widows and orphans out-of-doors; furnished heartbreak by exile to 
some dozens of disagreeable patriots; subjugated the remaining ten 
millions by Benevolent Assimilation, which is the pious new name of 
the musket; we have acquired property in the three hundred concubines 
and other slaves of our business partner Sultan of Sulu, and hoisted 
our protecting flag over that swag. And so, by the Providences of God 
— and the phrase is the government's, not mine — we are a World 
Power."
