Greetings all!
I hope you don't mind me butting in here but I've just joined the list and am eager to participate in the discussions. I have just finished reading Lila dn I read Zena nd the the art last year. Pirsig is the world's greatest living philosopher imnsho and he has much of relevance to say to all today's problems. wrt the discussion on guns it is clear that the more guns you have the more people will get shot! Hey I ddon't have to be a genius to figure that out. The key to understanding this is: TO KILL A PERSON IS TO DESTROY A SOURCE OF THOUGHT. Now I don't support the actions of the likes of Timonty McVeigh but it is clear that he should not have been executed, because he was a SOURCE OF THOUGHT.
For society to grow and prosper we must heed PIrsig's ideas and evolve beyond archaic ideas of revenge as a means of justice
