What a relief Bo!<br>I may be prone to negative,
paranoid thinking, but I really didn't guess your cinicism
in that paragraph. Context context...<br>I have been
guilty of letting my argumentation slide into rather
slushy emotionalism, though. This openness to the
expression of emotional resposes to the world is NEW for me,
and I am stil 'finding my voice'... but i think its
well worth trying! <br>Did you or any others read the
article recently written by John Beasley (Understanding
quality on the MOQ org site). I found it after writing my
'angry mail' and was relieved to read that he concurred,
and explained in more detail, many of my points and
feelings on the subject.<br>I also agreed with his overall
criticism of Pirsig's own over-intellectualisation in the
books. I find Beasley's piece good, and overall a useful
commentary. <br>By the way I found the rest of your post
sensible and well explained... more
later.<br>goodlove<br>fae Sara
