November 11, 2003
You have a wonderful website. It is very informative. October 11, 2003 Spent the morning pouring over the Ken Wilber/Shambhala website, then went in search of references to Wilber and Krishnamurti, both of whom have influenced my thinking over time. Just read your review of One Taste, which I have not read, but I wanted to comment that the personal KW comes through a bit more in interviews that he has allowed. Interviewing his friends would perhaps tell a different story as well. Clearly the published work of K and Wilber is different in style, intent, and scope. But fluid consciousness comes through in both and I have to guess they would get along famously. October 10, 2003 Thank you very much for making this wonderful source of information and conversation-provoking ideas available. September 7, 2003 Thanks be to you for such an insightful and diverse webpage. July 22, 2003 Just found this site searching Jean Houston interviews. Found more treasures than I could imagine. Thanks for keeping this site up. I am sure you are on to even bigger and better things. Though I think you could rest on these laurels alone. Sincerely, July 10, 2003 Scott, I just came upon your website today and have been scanning through its content. I am amazed by the parallels in modern business theory and the article you wrote in 1996 "Understanding Change: Strategies for Innovation and Renewal". Many organizations, both commercial and civic, have been unable to embrace the concepts you enumerate and are hell-bent on maintaining the (their) status quo. Collaboration, Customer Relationship Management and other concepts are really a return to the foundations of democracy: equality and fraternity. Given your current circumstances and the state of the economy, you should get into business and public sector consulting. The world is in need of solutions that can only rise from visionary thinking, something about which you might be able to teach to business and government leaders. June 21, 2003 Scott, you have certainly accomplished a great deal in your young life. I appreciated, and made a copy for my files, of the nice article you did on my uncle, Harry Ashmore. I guess you might have met with him in Santa Barbara before he died a few years ago. Sincerely, May 15, 2003 I'm a journalism student at the University of Minnesota, and I'm doing a thesis paper on the political "slant" in newspaper stories about welfare/poverty/economics in the United States. I read your article about media bias. Thank you so much for your excellent and comprehensive analysis of media slant in overall news coverage. It has already been a great help to me, and it's about time someone took a closer look at the "liberal media" myth. May 13, 2003 Love your web site. Your take on the decline of journalism is absolutely right on target. Sadly, since you wrote "The Trouble with American Journalism" the situation has gone from bad to worse. I can't believe how driven by expediency and ratings TV news has become and it appears that print journalism is not far behind in protecting the corporate bottomline rather than serving the public interest. Just wanted to know that you're doing something worthwhile and that sooner or later the public is going to realize what we're losing. Best regards, May 9, 2003 Discovered your site when researching for info on Barbara Ehrenreich, a favorite author of mine. You reviewed her book, Fear of Falling: The Rise and Fall of the Middle-Class. I have seen Ms. Ehrenreich at several appearances, the latest, Oct. 30th, at UCSD campus near my home. Have you read her later book, Nickeled and Dimed to Death in America? It's a good read, and I'm sure it would make a great review. Your work sounds fascinating, and I would like to be on your email list. February 9, 2003 Thanks for your informative website. I read with interest your essays, particularly on electronic democracy, which were written during the Clinton era. But how is electronic democracy playing out under Dubya's war-mongering regime? The justification for war by Bush and Blair has been exposed in the alternative media, especially in the internet, as based mostly on lies and misinformation. The mainstream media, in contrast, have been generally uncritical of the Bush-Blair push for war. Can electronic democracy stop the war or influence the course of events? Could you please address this question in your wonderful website? February 5, 2003 Just a thank you for providing such an interesting place to visit. I read quite afew of your book reviews, as I'm writing a deep think on higher education.
