Huh? What about it?

Well, for starters - how come there is a whole passel of laws relating to genetic discrimination, basically in the nature of “you can’t do it”, but there isn’t a single law regarding memetic discrimination?

Not only does it exist in fact, it’s vicious - if you are carrying the wrong set of memes, sometimes as little as a single meme, that can be used to disqualify you from consideration for everything from entrance to a government building, to getting service at a restaurant!

It’s time we all stood together on this issue!

Even if you’re not a victim of some unfortunate memetic trait, just as you wouldn’t want to be discriminated against, you absolutely must “do unto others” and not only refrain from memetic discrimination (or MD, as we like to call it) but encourage others to do likewise and to join us in fighting against this horribly disabling dread disease: MD - Memetic Discrimination.

Thanks for reading this. A signup sheet will be available soon. Please help us!

Just to help prove the point… go search for memetic discrimination… you get ONE, count it, ONE result:

Now try “genetic discrimination” instead. Little bit of difference? Four hundred and sixty-three THOUSAND (”about”) versus ONE??? Don’t believe it? Look:
