Hi Bruce What about the "Might Is Right" meme (and its inverse - the David and Goliath meme)? It is one of the most pervasive memes in monotheist based narrative. It has, IMHO, been replicated through the storyscape from ancient times through to the latest news story. It has caused "enthralling, intoxicating and mind-spelling manipulative effect[s]". Jeremy
