Actually, I don't recommend reading _The Elements_ -- like I said, if you
want to know their content, you're far better off to read a modern day
algebra and geometry text.

(and I note that you somehow managed to miss quoting me saying that...
funny how people stretch the truth around here, eh?)

... and as an aside, I find it *ironic* that as soon as I point out a
ideo-space which is NOT memetic, it somehow becomes one... I would argue
that such is a patenty *false* use of the memetic paradigm -- I *clearly*
choose to propagate that idea, irregardless of it's "desires" to be
propagated.
