Wade:
I am from Missouri about this- show me a designed meme. Show me the
process of manufacture. Show me the ore from which the ingot is obtained,
and the mold into which it is poured.
Derek:
Well, I'm from Barrhead rather then Missouri, but I do share some of Wade's
reservations - but only about _internalist_ memetics. To throw out memetics
completely becasue of the excesses of the internalist camp is a baby and
bath water situation. So to paraphrase Wade: "Show me an internal meme".
