More Devil's advocate

From: "John S." Newsgroups: rec.radio.shortwave Sent: Monday, July 11, 2005 7:50 AM Subject: Yeah, it's a troll. Mike Speed wrote: Devil's advocate: Is the ARRL a bureaucracy? Sure, what organization isn't. Bureaucracy: a system of administration marked by officialism, red tape, and proliferation I've been a member of some ham clubs that were not bureaucratic and they were an organization - it was more like a fraternity. What can happen in a bureaucratic organization? I don't know, since the term just describes the structure. Well, aren't some bureaucratic organizations corrupt due to the bureaucracy? If it can happen in other bureaucracies, can it happen in the ARRL? Where does the money from the fees go, exactly? I don't know...why not take a look at their budget and report back. Okay, where could I get *factual* *unbiased* declarations of their budget? How much utility does QST really have? Lots if you are a ham and a member of the ARRL. Lots? Give me some examples. How strong of a lobbying force is the ARRL with the FCC - really? I don't know, what is your opinion. I think about the efforts of the ARRL to persuade the FCC to give us useful allocations in the Lowfer segments - there's a huge opportunity for hams to do what they do best - be on the cutting edge and invent methods to communicate in difficult situations. Only one example of many. |
