Elainevdw, that's funny! One of our society's taboos: don't raise yourself up too high, or you'll get your head cut off. It's interesting that the Brights are being criticized for their choice of name -- that they're arrogant for calling themselves "bright" which implies that others are "dim." Which is ridiculous, really; people who are not "gay" are not "glum", they're "straight." (or something. you pc purists.)
Maybe we should come up with a replacement for "dummies" -- those who are not "smart" are..... hmmmm, what? "Personal Development for People Who Can't Be Bothered"? Too long. "Personal Development for Britney Spears"? Too judgemental. ahh, how about "Personal Development for Most People"?
