Subject: Brights' Bulletin 19 -- Nov. 30, 2004, If it will forward, maybe off 
topic

	boundary="-----------------------------1102022478"



Hello, fellow cryoneters:
 
I don't know if the following will forward or not to the Cryonet  format, but 
I think some of you may be interested in the "Brights"  movement/organization.
 
The term "bright" is an umbrella term for those with a naturalistic  
worldview.  The concept is pretty interesting.  Here it is.  
 
The term "gay" was adopted and helped reduce prejudice and unfairness  toward 
those of alternate sexual orientation.  This was a word with one  dictionary 
meaning which has come to be a descriptive word without some  previously 
unacceptable connotations.
 
The term "bright" may or may not catch on, but this is an interesting  

experiment in memetic engineering that has attracted a large amount of  
attention, 
by enlarge positive in my view.  

Anyway, I hope this forwarding will translate to this list's format, as I  
think it is at least as relevant to progress in cryonics as other items.
