    Testing, testing does this thing work?

    Hi all, I am a n00b and thought this might be a good place to jump in.

    The MoQ is nonsense because:

    #10. There are two kinds of people in the world: Those who lump reality into
    metaphorical catagories and those who don't.
    #9. MoQers who set DQ up as the highest value are just Discordians without
    the sense of humor.
    #8. As Ernest Rutherford said, "Science is physics. Everything else is
    stamp collecting." MoQ taken literally is just another system of taxonomy.
    #7. MoQ is old wine stored in a new skin.
    #6. MoQ strips away your intellectual baggage then leaves you stranded at
    the airport.
    #5. Motorcycles are for rebels. Ships are for fools
    #4. MoQ is a straw dog biting at a straw man eating a slaw dog.
    #3. MoQ is Buddah on the road. We should be killing it.
    #2. If the world is made of value, then maybe Pontiac really is "Fuel for
    the Soul"

    And the # 1 reason the MoQ is nonsense:

     Robert Pirsig is a big fat idiot.

    Just kidding, gotta run and get ready for the metaphorical crotch kicking to
    come...
