"In response to J.R. Labbe's recent column about the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History asking for yet another bailout, I agree that our fiscally responsible Mayor Betsy Price should decline and that the board of directors should step up to the plate and make some changes. Now is the time when Fort Worth residents must demand changes at the museum. In terms of national prominence, our beloved Museum of Science has been refashioned into the most boring experience in the city and a joke in the eyes of other prestigious U.S. museums. I would be surprised to learn its accreditation is not in jeopardy." - Joe Silence from Bookmarklet

i used to go to the old museum (razed to build the new one) all the time as a child and teen and into adulthood. always looked forward to it. when i took my wife (who'd been with me to the old one) and children i was both saddened and disgusted. everything good and important had been tossed out and in its place is what amounts to a gigantic indoor playground like you'd find at a major fast food chain. this museum went from crown jewel to travesty and i can't imagine what might be able to save it now. - Joe Silence
