    That might well be true. Probably is.

    Which usually leads me to wanting to know what culture is, apart
    from behavior around needs like these...? And how, (do we need a
    how?), to separate or distill memes from this?

    And then, thinking these things, I get all flopped over to the
    'memes are bunkum' side of the fence for awhile. So far, a few
    encounters with folks from the other camp leaves me on top of
    the fence again....
