    I think this is something that every slashdot reader can get behind. Far be it from me to attempt to voice the concerns of the community, but Mr. Fuller deserves the respect of us all after his work in architecture that lead to important discovers in chemistry.

    This is a landmark that should be preserved at all costs. I don't think any of us will have a problem giving a small portion of our incomes to such a worthy cause. Since we are all good Americans, none of us should mind paying a nominal tax in honor of the greatest Buckminster than we have ever known.

    God bless.
