I just read the paper, it is really good. The web site of the bright
movement is:
http://www.the-brights.net/
There is also a paper by Richard Dawkins:
http://books.guardian.co.uk/review/story/0,12084,981412,00.html
ending like:
"Of course, even though we brights will scrupulously insist that our word is
a noun, if it catches on it is likely to follow gay and eventually re-emerge
as a new adjective. And when that happens, who knows, we may finally get a
bright president."
Of course I am going to sign up as a Bright.
