News: Al Gore and the Mission of the Nobel Prizes
Posted on Friday, October 12 @ 05:42:12 PDT by Mickey Denen

News In just a few hours following publication of this article, at approximately 9AM Eastern time this morning, the Norwegian Nobel Committee will announce its selection of the recipient of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize. The odds-on favorite is former vice president Al Gore.

If Gore is indeed the recipient, this choice, more than any other Nobel Committee selection, marks the end of a 105-year era. In direct contradiction of Alfred Nobel's last will and testament, the selection of Gore essentially means the Peace Prize can no longer be said to be an award for improving the condition of humankind. Looking at Gore's writing, it's far from clear that Gore even believes that humanity is his most important priority.

Not that there haven't been controversial or dubious selections before. Jimmy Carter was selected by the committee in 2002 in what was partly a political swipe at the Bush administration's foreign policy. Yasser Arafat was given the Peace Prize despite his ordering the killing of scores of innocent civilians.

Hey Mick,

Can you imagine how screwed up the Nobel is? Awarding the peace prize for Gore's "Global Warming" craziness while ignoring Gore's major contribution to the world of creating the Internet

Go figure,
Tom
