    But to explain my sudden happiness on these issues-

    I've grown to accept the fog.

    Or at least become blissful about the memetic perspective, where we have
    cultural behaviors that are isolated (peruvian boiling) enough from other
    cultural imperatives.

    It would seem that a unique perspective upon this is needed, if not
    wholly explained, by memetic analysis.

    Thanks, guys. Happiness is rare enough.
