_WOW_ this is one of the most catchy extropian memes I've heard yet and I
will definately pass it around. Great thinking David! I live my life by this
meme. It also sounds sorta x-file-ish akin to "The Truth is out there" which
is pretty cool and will likely encourage it to spread through the
population. I think we should consider now how we can spread this new meme
and promote it! I _do_ hope this meme spreads like a plague through the
populous.
