When we say "millenium (a)" we are counting 2000 (1999 because Dennis the Small started the calendar without a zero) years from the approximate birth of Jesus, a man. So, lets dedicate the next two thousand years to women. The Millenia of Women. Women MMM and MMMM.

No offense to Mandela, King or Gandhi, but I did just vote for Karl Marx as person of the millennium on this site for the same reason I applaud the direct-demonstrators in Seattle: This man and those demonstrators are the ones who are most disturbing to mainstream sensibilities; there is no way their message can be coopted.
