meme

So, guys, now that I have listened to the masses and removed that ads, what sort of polling question should I ask?  Maybe it should be simple: McCain or Obama?  Please let me know via the comments.

Here is an email I wrote to an enviro-wacko from a real activist (me) that works in the field and not from the comfort of his own little studio. He had claimed that all hunters are, basically, evil:

Pravda: “ 'Al Qaeda' is nothing more than a broad euphemistic umbrella classification used to group any Middle Eastern fighter under the Sun as an enemy. The most diabolical aspect of this public relations stunt is that it enables the current Administration to label any group it feels necessary to attack to appear to be related to an unprovable organized enemy while at the same time actually increasing its approval ratings by exploiting the basic primal fears of the American public."

It has been estimated that if all of the ranching that exists from the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains to the west coast of the United States was eliminated that only two percent of the national beef production would be affected. This is because of the nature of the landscape in the west of America where it takes about fifty times the amount of land to raise one cow as it does in the biomass-rich east. Given how much more delicate the countryside is in the region, it makes little sense to put cows all over and make the entire west into what Edward Abbey called "cow burnt." In case you are wondering: no, bison do not have nearly the effect that cattle do. Hoof shape and the migratory instinct lessen such impact.

First of all, we are no longer purely genetic creatures, we are also memetic creatures. In the last 10,000 years, our memetic evolution has outstripped, and to a large extent taken over from, our merely genetic evolution. This means that what should be most important to us is being intellectually like ourselves. And, in intellectual terms, we have more in common with an African Gray parrot than either of us does with a shrew or a sparrow. Via Animals, Aliens and Human Destiny

John Moore: From an antipolitical perspective, the implications are clear. On the one hand, anarchy must be rejuvenated and become conscious and vigilant. Liberation from all forms of coercion and hierarchy, including its formulation in the cuneal paradigm, can be achieved only through an attentive and sagacious anarchy. On the other hand, techniques must be developed whereby the controlled can experience the psychosocial biodegradation process, with its liberating cathartic effects, and hence regain their forfeited heritage as uncontrollables—the real paradise lost.

John Moore: In an important article, Jay Vest convincingly demonstrates that the words "will" and "wild" derive from a common etymological root. For primal Europeans, nature was pervaded by a will force that remained beyond their power to influence. What nature autonomously willed became identified as wild.

Personally, I have always found euthanasia a cheap way out of our responsibility to that which we domesticate. Dominion indeed! 'What do humans do with what is left under our stewardship,' is far more constructive question to ask ourselves than is, 'Are we okay morally if we just kill it all?' This supposes for a moment that there is a modicum of validity to 'thou shalt have dominion..' - I know it's a stretch but ya gotta speak the language of the deluded sometimes.

So we have had the same poll forever, man, and I am getting a little tired of it.  So, let's see if we (and by "we" I mean you all) can come up with another poll.  You can always go back and see how the old poll is going, if you like: Top End Times Meme?.  Please help: there's got to be a lot of great polls we could introduce, right?  Please either pop your suggested poll question and options into the comments below or actually create your own poll yourself (I think you can -- can you

Memetic engineering is a term developed by three individuals; Leveious Rolando, John Sokol, and Gibran Burchett while they researched and observed the behavior of humans after being purposely exposed (knowingly and unknowingly) to certain memetic themes. The term is based on Richard Dawkins theory of memes.
