I work in the art world in many capacities, and am sad to relate the majority of comments about the new CAC are very negative. Just as the old CAC on Fifth Street was actually bringing in real people to enjoy exhibits, the new CAC seems to be shooing them away. There is (frequently commented) the cold, unhuman building. Clever, but not encouraging. The exhibits have followed the architecture. No warmth, no human quality. And the latest comments I am hearing from art visitors to the city concern the snobbish attitude of the staff which visitors meet. I personally am a great fan of contemporary art. However, presentation is everything. Galas are great for raising money, but warmth raises people. CAC is developing a personna again that it had once overcome. Elitism.

WAYNE DYER: CHANGE YOUR THOUGHTS, CHANGE YOUR LIFE</i>)did not turn out as you had wished. Dr. Dyer's interpretations were based on, according to the programming notes, one year of study. Taoism, I've always felt, was not something that someone else could explain. Those who know don't talk; Those who talk don't know. The only path towards knowing is knowing for yourself, therefore, I had some skepticism towards the program. As Lao Tzu writes in the very first chapter, <i>The Tao that can be named is not the eternal Tao</i>. While you feel Dr. Dyer fell extremely short of adequately outlining this philosophy, if it leads others to seek out and study for themselves, then, perhaps that's a good thing. Whoever embraces the Tao will not slip away. --Brian Jan,

I am outraged by the dumbing down of this material by the presenter. If we cannot trust our public television station to bring us quality content and veritable presentation of the cultural subject, who can we trust? I have been reading and following this deep and rich Chinese philosophy for a brief 8 years, have benefitted greatly, and was happy to see a program was coming to WCET that might make it accessible to a wider population. Regrettably, what I see here shocks and dismays. I hope you will pull this junk from your programming. Please consult an expert on the subject, you may find out how offensive this production is to the Chinese culture and those who are serious about studying this philosophy. Dear wise Bloggers,
