Mark, in the middle of an interesting message writes

>Again, the key is how one originally defines the construct 'meme.'<

which leads me to wonder whether, in the discusssion of that question, an=
d
the meme gene analogy we are overlooking the original Dawkins point in
creating the construct 'meme' as an example of another class of
'replicator'.. Are we or are we not dealing with a construct which, in th=
e
act of replicating itself, enables the creation and / or preservation of =
a
form of complex order?. =
