What interests me about these is how the opposing memes compete for the
majority of non-involved minds, and how one idea wins over the other. For
eg, I lived in the US during and after Sept 11, I live in the UK now, and
the emerging US and UK/European "most common memesets" towards the current
middle east thingy (especially as to who is in the "right") is profoundly
different (to the extent that a US Jewish org. is boycotting France/Cannes -
www.boycottfrance.com).
