Ted, They started the list off with a Nobel prize winner, Arafat himself. Lol. I don't think the Nobel prize commission will ever recover from this, and Nobel prize will never again be worth even the limited prestige it had prior to this blunder. I looked up the different Nobel prize winners over the years. I am amazed how much the developed nations, particularly the US, dominate these prizes. The gap between us and the poorer nations is huge. Perhaps a case for more progressive voting system, based on the US tax code? This way, the US would be in top tax bracked (along with some European ountries) and their vots would be taxed, and they would retain only, say half of their votes. Nominees from poor places would be in 0% braket. This way, if the US candidate gets 65% of the votes, and Palestinian gets 35%, the Palestinian would get the Nobel prize, since the US candidate votes would be taxed to 32.5%. Joe
