I sent a smart pal the url:

 http://www.betterhumans.com/News/news.aspx?articleID=2003-01-02-5

and commented in passing: "The fact that these >Humanists choose to call
their organization `Betterhumans' fills me with despair."

He remarks:

>It's a nice site, with clearly written material, though the "rate the
effect
>of this on human progress" meter is a bit puerile.

>and that name, "Betterhumans" is terrible, combining tackiness with
>immediate connotations of the "old" bad eugenics.

Couldn't have said it better. PLEASE rethink this awful meme/tag, people.
