And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Radio Telescope National Radio Astronomy Observatory, Green Bank, West Virginia
I once read a list of buildings, highways, etc. that bore his name. I was fully expecting to see his name on a public crapper. This is almost as bad as Harley Davidson branding except that Byrd was building momuments to his ego. Looking at an HD branded duct tape roll on the counter, I almost asked the counterman if they sold Harley branded sanitary pads. I already had a name picked out: Hog Hankeys!
I'm Kraving to see the Koolest new TelesKope.

He got his name put on things all OVER the state.
ReplyDeleteI'm not questioning the naming of the telescope as much as I'm questioning it being in West By-God was an optimum choice.
