    Hi Jeremy Bradley -

    >Also I worry that memetics is being used to develop a theory of cultural
    >supremacy.

    Using [memes] (fill in the blank...) to validate cultural supremacy is
    one of the most ancient social 'glues' there is.

    How territorality manifested in culture and cultural stories cannot be
    overlooked.

    The juggernaut's nature is to run over things.
