Can you explain to me why you consider being called a liberal, leftist or
Marxist is an insult?
Also, do you want to exclude all discussion of politics from this site?
You do know that Pirsig explained why free markets were better than
socialism don't you, and that he explained why SOM intellect fails to
provide good government?
