I never cease to be amazed at the attitude of our society, that "old" means "valueless" in many cases, especially architecture. Kim, I'd value your input on this. You may not know it, but I was in the pre-architecture program at the U years ago, before the money ran-out. 3 years. I do not plan to visit the new Clark planetarium unless my wife and daughter want me to take them there. I have no interest in the modern version of the planetarium. It is no longer a place of learning akin to a cross between a museum, theater, and library. Planetariums are now arcades, more related to Chuck E. Cheeses, than learning. Laser shows have nothing to do with astronomy. I don't go to planetariums to see IMAX shows on whales, mountain-climbing, or surfing. Buncha crap. Pop culture is valueless, transitory, and it's a crime that institutions have to go this route just to stay solvent. Bill, thanks for posting that. Chuck --- bill biesele <xmix@biesele.net> wrote:
