Default ARRL's "Diamond Terrace" Memorial

ARRL's "Diamond Terrace" Memorial

I do NOT understand this "fad" of placing bricks on the GROUND
to memorialize someone. I am not about to memorialize anyone
about whom I care or whom I respect by placing their name on
the ground where thoughtless people wipe dog-poop off their shoes
and spit their gum. I don't know who first thought of this fad
(and Lord, I hope it's a "passing fad"),
but it's a bad idea and I would never, ever do it.
Build a wall with the bricks, or anything else
other than a "walk on you daddy" place.

I would be much more worried about the "hucksters" at arrl attempting to
sell ya bricks at $75-$250 bucks.

Guess their little "religious pamphlets" just aren't going like
hotcakes! Guess their just ain't an appeal for the arrl amongst
"atheist hams!"

Maybe we should worry more about "arming" the arrl with a generous
supply of bricks, what happens if they get PI$$ED and start hurling 'em?

You mean that fishwrap of a magazine they publish?

The one that's 85% advertising and uses printers ink
that's so damm cheap it rubbs off on your thumb and
makes it black?

I hope the magazine goes belly-up in a few years and
when arrl hq closes once and for all, some Indian named
Patel buys up the property, knocks down all the buildings
and antennas and builds a mega Dunkin-Doughnuts on
the site.
