Filling gaps

whew... too long since the last post. a new member in the family, loved ones' visits, and today (two days ago actually), obama winning the nobel- unexpected and untimely, even by his own account.

here's a thought- exclude statesmen/women automatically from peace prize considerations because they stand not only for peace, but equally for war.

the nobel committee being political, as all bodies are, is unlikely to ever do so. the nobel committee, being supremely political, is likely to periodically give the award to statesmen and women.
