Nobel Peace Prize

[Jim the Moron]

We're approaching the Nobel season, and look forward to reading about the winners in the sciences and in literature. Contrarily, we are apprehensive re the Peace Prize. Why?

1. Previous winners include Yasser Arafat and Barack Obama.

2. Mahatma Gandhi and Vaclav Havel never received the award.

While I don't think much of the Nobel Peace Prize considering some of its inappropriate recipients (Kissinger? Seriously?) it's understood that the prize was not awarded at all in 1948 because Gandhi had been assassinated and the award cannot be made posthumously.

I think they should just call it the nobel pizza prize then they can divide it up as many times as they like.

It has also been awarded to corporations such as the International Committee of the Red Cross and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugee. I feel strongly that it should always be awarded to a living person.
