THERE'S A SPECIAL XMAS GREETING AWAITING YOU AT: http://members.tripod.com/~ngin/MERRYXMAS.htm

It celebrates some recent HEROES of the global campaign of opposition to the imposition of genetic engineering -- a campaign than in 2000 continued to be marked by courage, inspiration, imagination, and good  humour!

A very MERRY XMAS to all the ngin bulletin readers and to all anti-genetic NGINeers everywhere!
