OK, lets drag this back into the world of memes, then. Memes cannot, obviously,
be linked with conflicing memes, but is there an overall direction to
the memes, do you think? Just as you have a "colour scheme", do memes
have a "meme scheme"? I don't think this is going anywhere, actually,
but if you've got any further thoughts on what I'm saying, go for it.
