Memes

Wikipedia describes a meme.  Go to here for the explanation.  It is an interesting concept.

Or just grasp this: A unit for carrying cultural ideas.

Short and sweet.  That is the extent to which ideas are developed today.  While Twitter has a limit on words in a tweet, most are short.  Matching our short attention span.  That is not entirely bad.  In that short period of time that it captures our attention span it just might give us pause to think.  While attention is short, once inspired most of us can still think.  Some that cannot are sheep.  They have short attention spans too but don't think.  We will be hearing more money memes from those that fire up their base sheep.  Beck is not a thought leader.  He is a meme bleater.

Money Memes:  

Here are some common money memes that we hear often today.
Its our money.
Its my money.
Its your money.
Government money. 

Some sheep bleat the memes, other sheep repeat them.

I think that the president might say the meme and then so something that the bleat leaders don't ask their sheep to do: Think about it.  At least those that can.  Reasonably, rationally as responsible citizens. That might seriously happen.  Is he a sheep leader or a shepperd?

Thinking is difficult for a sheep.  That is why they get fleeced.

The meme is the key to either controlling thoughtless people or igniting the fire of thinking people.

Fired up?

I am not sure.   I want to believe.
