-----Forwarded message from /nev/dull@cats.ucsc.edu----- 1997-10-04 Million Microbe March We are proud to announce the Million Microbe March. On December 29, 1997, a crowd of one million microbes will converge on Bethesda, Maryland. They will meet there on the lawn of the National Institutes of Health, and spend the entire day expressing solidarity, atonement, and genes. This is NOT going to be a celebration of diversity. While it is true that microbes have participated in the Million Man March, the Million Woman March, the Promisekeepers' March, and other anthropocentric marches, the Million Microbe March is just for microbes. There is a large spiritual aspect to the March. Too long have too many denied the spiritual nature of the microbial community. Too often have microbes been tormented or killed because otherwise compassionate beings denied the simple fact that microbes have souls. We ask you to please remember the official slogan of the Million Microbe March. If you or one near to you is going on the March, please chant the slogan long, loud, and often: Small is beautiful. Small is beautiful. Small is beautiful. -----End of forwarded message----- -- Kent Crispin "No reason to get excited", kent@songbird.com the thief he kindly spoke...
