I can't seem to grasp this dispute.  I believe that
there have been very minor groups that have set
values, beliefs and memories and that have
historically changed the meme belief but I don't
recall reading that "one" particular "single person"
ever changed anything.  Am I not understanding the
conversation? Please let me know.

Just curious, thanks
