Thank you David. That was an excellent reply. I started this whole thread
by quoting Richard Brodie from his book "Virus of the Mind" where he calls
it "The New Science of the Mind". The thread has since digressed due to
the misunderstanding of what science is by many people here. All I have been
asking all along is, "if memetics is a science and not a fad, where is the
science?".
