    Who gets the prize often seems pretty darned mysterious, it's not like it's an open vote or anything. I do think it's nice that the movie was made of it, and hopefully will live on for years and years, making her name and sacrifices known.

    Yeah, the mind boggles when the winners list comes out.....I have no idea how they come up with some of those decisions.

    What a wonderful human being. I'm glad this movie about her will be shown soon, and I hope that leads to her and her efforts and accomplishments becoming much better known by people at large than if she had been the Nobel Prize winner.

    I certainly would have voted for her to get the Prize rather than Al Gore, but my invitation to be on the Committee must have gotten lost in the mail or something.
    I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
    Death thought about it.
    CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.

    Your invitation was never sent mate, Al Gore has banned the use of postage stamps and envelopes amongst his team of hangers-on.....something to do with paper being made out of wood.....you know de-forestation, stuff like that !!! Hee hee

    IMHO Gore and every IPCC member who received a NPP should give it back. While people are giving back awards Gore and Michael Moore should surrender their Oscars to real documentarians.
    I have a HUGE SIG!!!!

    Yep they should, but pigs will fly before that bunch of parasites give anything back.
