As defined by Richard Dawkins in The Selfish Gene (1976): "a unit of cultural transmission, or a unit of imitation." "Examples of memes are tunes, ideas, catch-phrases, clothes fashions, ways of making pots or of building arches. Just as genes propagate themselves in the gene pool by leaping from body to body via sperms or eggs, so memes propagate themselves in the meme pool by leaping from brain to brain via a process which, in the broad sense, can be called imitation. ...

One of many. I fear generations of humanity will be cursed with the "Abba Meme", whereby they will hear "Dancing Queen" over and over again like an XM satellite broadcast (do those guys at XM really have more than 100 songs in their library?).

May the Lord bless you. I never thought of myself as a "Meme" but yes I plant the gospel into hearts. I serve the Propagator who created all things so each kind could propagate after their kind. Jesus Christ, God the Creator, said "go into all the world and preach the gospel." I am so enthusiastic about Jesus Christ that I tell everyone about Him.
Am I insane as far as what this world calls insane, Oh I hope so? Jesus said, "don't conform to this world." We have a choice to choose God or man, but we can't serve 2 masters.
I choose God. May the Lord bless you.

First off....don't know what a meme is.
Second......it's not depressing.
Third.....who cares about this Richard Dawkins anyway?
He's a man like the rest of us.
Praise God......I'm happier than ever....knowing that my permanent home is in heaven.

You could say then that Mr. Dawkins has his own depressing Memes.
