Just felt like adding this today for some reason.

From Wiki:

In this book, Pirsig explores the meaning of the concept "quality" (a term which he capitalizes). In the sequel (Lila: An Inquiry into Morals), Pirsig expands his exploration of Quality into a complete metaphysic which he calls The Metaphysics of Quality. The Metaphysics of Quality is a philosophy, a theory about reality; it asks questions such as what is real, what is good and what is moral. As the title suggests, much of the Metaphysics of Quality has to do with a non-intellectualizing, non-conceptualizing, Zen-like direct viewing of the universe. Yet Pirsig departs from Eastern thinking by arguing that reason and logic are just as important in seeking understanding. He explains that, despite its title, "it should in no way be associated with that great body of factual information relating to orthodox Zen Buddhist practice. It's not very factual on motorcycles, either."

After a long string of charges including corruption, racial slurs, bribery, influence peddling, a shooting, election fraud, overall incompetence and inappropriate advances toward minors, members of the Republican party today announced a new campaign to improve their public image.

As part of the initiative, GOP leaders reportedly agreed to a long-term, PR program intended to improve their public perception by 2011 from “low-down, dirty scumbags” to “cold-blooded snakes in the grass” – and ultimately, by 2016, to “people who could be trusted not to steal their neighbors’ lawn sprinklers.”
