Another meme: end a debate by comparing one opponent to Hitler.

The usefulness and the limitation of meme theory is that it is so ubiquitous.
How to cook scrambled eggs involves groups of memes
(And you can follow their evolutionalry path and development: one good TV programme and they suddenly "infect" lots of brains. In a few cases the infection sticks, and may get passed on the the next generation.)
The concept of memes is itself a meme. It's spread quite prolifically in the last ten years. We'll have to see if it has durability as well.
Complex memes which demand their own proliferation(evangelism) and defend themselves (don't read heretical books...) are fascinating.
