And who's gonna listen to them ? :p

I lost all respect for the nobel commission when they awarded the likes of Al Gore and Jimmy Carter.

Hell even Rush Limbaugh was a nominee.

As was said "Who is going to listen".

I second that Steamwake.

I take from the comments so far that nobody has seen the need to even read them before opening fire. I assume that part of my headline reading "what must change" already was enough to trigger autonomous hostile reflexes, especially the aversive word "change". It overrides any usual neural barriers, impacts with a red alert flashing right in the cnetre of the brain and commands the whole neocortex for emergency shutdown and hands basic cognitive functions over to automatic patriot-mode that ensures survival by scanning for and killing of any liberal and lefty stimulus found within intellectual scanning range, usual half an armslength, plus 10% range reserve for emergencies.

Personally I think it has more to do with the threads author than the subject matter. But that's just me...

Well, no, thus far with "change", that is all we have been left with, change. The paper money has been taken to bailout failed management and these individual took a sebatical at the most costly resort they can find. So the mantra of "change" is just that, a mantra. There is no substance to it. For a guy who likes change... the backward racism of Europe, when is Germany going to elect a Turk or someone other than German desent? When is a Muslim going to be elected in the UK? I find it funny when America is pointed at with a racial finger only to find the uproar of Muslims living in the UK. At least we recognize our backward racist views. So, before you start scanning for righty racist conservatives who are recalcitrant to change, how about making a study of your country and the surrounding countries and see how they faired in the "change" market. Steamwake is right, the likes of Al Gore who's book is found with little to no factual evidence, so much so, it was pulled from classrooms in the UK. However, he still collected a check and that is all that matters in the end. After that little ditty, I do not care who wins the Nobel. It could be Suzie from the girl scouts and a biology experiment for all I care. After Al Gore, the Nobel lost any credibility in my book. Al Gore, the guy who invented the internet...oh brother..........
