Vivo: you asked for the name of a US conservative who had won the Peace Prize. I supplied it. I also gave my opinion that the Prize is a meaningless one.

If Kissinger was a poor choice for the Peace Prize, you would think that might lead people to question the judgement of the Committee members when it came to other picks. But apparently it doesn’t – not when you’re a leftist who is a stranger to logical thought.

The only Nobel prizes which truly mean something are the science ones, awards which are given for something concrete and objective.
