Hi Platt..
As for Pirsig's explanation of socialist cities - I'm really not sure that
I agree with that. Havana, Cuba is a city is a very socialist country and
it's not a dull place by anyone's definition. Albeit it could probably be
argued that Havana is exciting and vibrant because of its history/culture
and the underground (black market) economy. But now we're just mincing
words.
Do you think using tax money to build roads is a "coercive government
program that redistributes personal income to fund national welfare
programs"? Would you put Education into this category as well, Medi-care? Or
solely 'welfare' programs, which people who cannot (do not want to) find
work use as their primary source of income?
