[Peace-discuss] Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize?

[Ricky Baldwin]

Hi Ed -

Thanks for commenting.  It's also certainly true that the prize has been awarded in some Orwellian ways - possibly owing to its origins as a dynamite-funded effort to end war.

But as an aside, however dubious Al Gore may be, it seems to me the science is pretty convincing on climate change.  Of course you always get meteorologists who don't believe in evolution or chemists who think the sun goes around the earth, etc.  But that just doesn't add up to scientific controversy in my humble opine.

Anyway, thanks again for joining in.  We can argue about nearly anything on this list, and do.

Ricky

This is my first post to this forum--greetings.

I believe this strange selection is consistent with the previous selections by the Nobel committee of Al Gore for the 2007 peace prize for the dubious science of climate change, Henry Kissinger for the 1975 peace prize & Antonio Moniz for medicine for the medical benefits of lobotomies.
I suspect President O'bama will put this award in his resume as an achievement. This would also be consistent with his past  history of offering  rhetoric without substance. Indeed, it is becoming apparent that his prior  Illinois state senate  history of  voting "present" is becoming his method of dealing with issues & building up his legacy. He is present but what has he actually accomplished?
