Tad, maybe this decries my rather `of the dirt' earthy take on things,
nillhist that I may be, but doesn't the very definition of meme
/necessitate/ some kind of thinking entity to support the meme
population? There may be the /potential/ for memes to occur latent in
the very fact that there is an Objective Reality, but without a host
environment there are no memes just as without a biosphere there are no
genes, though they /could/ exist were conditions condusive.
