This has been my point all along. Well said. I keep thinking that if
we can find the point in development where the *bad* memes start
propagating and place a tiny correction, we would accomplish a great
deal for future generations. Lets face it, if we hope to create a
better place in our own life times, we might be a little over ambitious.
But think of the legacy for the future... I can not help but think of
the idea in chaos theory that a butterfly's wings can cause a
hurricane. Now, if we can approach this with the wisdom to nudge rather
than to try to destroy...
