    Which is pretty much saying there are 'good' memes and 'bad' ones, and
    the unhappy fact that lives are spent between them.

    I happen to think religion plays a very, very, large part in propagating
    the 'bad' ones.

    But, read 'dogma' for religion if you drive on the left side of the road.
