The Nobel Peace Prize
Most who know me well know that I rarely comment on politics and tend to stay uninvolved. I have my personal reasons for this, and do not believe this is the forum to discuss them. But there has been a great deal of discussion this week about Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize. Along with some of my peers I believe it was a bit premature. But this article from the Chicago Tribune offers an interesting perspective.
Al Gore told us a bunch of things we already knew about global warming and got the Peace Prize. Perhaps its not that this award was given prematurely, but rather that the prestige of the reward is on a decline.
Just my opinion.
That is another argument I heard.
