How often have you taken a skin sample of yourself and examined it under a microscope?

I suppose I’ve talked about buying a microscope from David Cate in high school.  I think he sold it during a concert/marching band fundraiser.

In any case, I took the microscope home and started preparing slides of pond scum, tap water, leaves, insect wings, floor dust, and whatever I could fit between the light bulb and the microscope lens.

I knew then what I wanted to do.

And now, thanks to my scientists locked in their cells working for me in subterranean laboratories to pay off mortgages, children’s teeth braces, expensive holidays and other modern conveniences, I now have what I want.

Think of a product in use anywhere in the world and my organization the Committee has its symbiotic microorganisms/nanobots working for us — household cleaners, fuel, motor oil, pipes, clothing, building material, sand, gravel, plants, animals, books, computers, mobile phones, food, water, air, beauty supplies — you name it and we have found a way to connect the item into our global communication network.

Many in the Committee want to use the network to advance their worldview philosophies – left, right, center, up, down, north, east, south, west, literal, figurative, etc.

I don’t care about which philosophies most or least interest the people.

My only goal is expansion of our ecosystem, taking all seven billion of us into account, depending on every one of your opinions to advance Earth-based lifeforms off this planet.

It’s not an easy goal.

In fact, most days, I feel lost and alone, as if my voice is drowned out by the Earth’s desire to keep its lifeforms to itself.

But I know better.

Earth is having growing pains.

Earth is coming into its own as a full-fledged member of galaxy-sentient being incubators.

We just…well, I need your help.

How are we going to move our species forward into its global partnership and create viable lifestyles that eliminate the detrimental effects of speculators and other greedy leeches who prey upon you within the the current finance-based labour credit/investment system?

In other words, how do we protect ourselves against the worst conditions that the right of freedom of an individual can cause?

We are observing several experiments in progress at the local, regional and [super/extra/hyper/macro]national levels – there are no winners or losers, only the mix that works best in the current global ecosystem conditions.

Sometimes, a single person within our seven billion (or a single idea within that single person), the ultimate minority, will come up with the most viable solution.

Therefore, I work with the Committee to protect the right of the individual while allowing a plurality of subcultures to debate which ones get to influence the next generation of children to carry on beliefs and practices for the generations to follow.

Do you prefer his or her, or does gender specificity have no meaning to you?
