Hey, erbody. 

I've been doing a lot of work/research with memes and memetics and I've realises something.

The meme was introduced by Richard Dawkins in his 1976 book, "The Selfish Gene," (although a proto version of the idea had been around for 80 odd years in various forms, he really put it all together neatly). It's introduction served two of Dawkins' goals. 1 - It showed that not only was there Universal Darwinism but that more than one replicator existed on Earth. 2 - It showed that religion was like a parasite in the mind.

   "The action likely ends a Logan hydroelectric engineering firm's efforts to gain Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approval for pumping about 21,000 acre-feet of water out of Bear Lake to generate power for sale during peak-demand hours.
    Symbiotics LLC, in arguing for the project, pointed to hydroelectricity's renewable energy potential and claimed the project could meet about 85 percent of Utah's current peak energy demands if used in concert with conservation efforts.  "

Beyond both non-violence and violence

Hey.

 Just an analogy I was working on. It's a mix of Quinn and other stuff.

The ecosystem is our life support system. Its mix of species and resources gives us food, clothing, shelter and everything else we need to survive. The ecosystem is a delicate balance of articulated relationships between all of the species and the environment.
