Comments on: The Nobel Committee’s Wishful Thinking http://www.newclarion.com/2009/10/the-nobel-committee%e2%80%99s-wishful-thinking/ Our mission is to combat the unreason and selflessness that are sweeping our culture from the nihilist left to the religious right, and to sound a new ideal of capitalism and individual rights in American politics.

And prizes are what all children want. Obama should be in his glory now. Santa, the Easter Bunny and the tooth fairy all showed up on the same day.

I pretty much screwed up that entire sentence. :) I meant that those winners of the NP for medicine and chemistry and physics had enriched life for many and earned just rewards in so doing, while Arafat, indeed, pillaged the lives of others for his own gain.

That is, d'Anconia, as the *former* saved uncounted lives, whilst the *latter* (Arafat) destroyed lives for the sake of his own wealth. I presume Mike mis-typed “former” and “latter”.

As corrupt as the prize it, this is still surprising because usually the winner has done <i>something</i>, made some accomplishment, however meaningless and appeasing of evil it is. What has Obama done but give a series of speeches apologizing for America to the world? I guess that’s enough, considering that it should be called the Nobel Appeasement Prize.

It's interesting. The man is a 19th-century Henry Rearden. An absolute genius in physical science, who allowed the world to bludgeon him socially (for "getting rich by finding ways to kill people") until he offered up, in addition to the legitimate scientific Nobel Prize categories, one prize to be given to the person who "...renders the greatest service to the cause of international fraternity...." If only he had a Francisco d'Anconia to open his eyes, his legacy might not be defiled by coupling the likes of Yassir Arafat with people who genuinely advanced the fields of chemistry or medicine. The latter saved uncounted lives and relieving suffering for many more; the former destroyed lives in order to enrich himself through corruption.
