I can think of worse people to give the Nobel Peace Prize, too, like Barak Obama, for example. Oh, wait a minute... they did give him one, then he preceded to wage warfare and violence every day of his eight years in the White House.
The leader of this peace group should be considered the 5th horseman riding side by side with the other 4.
the usual snark from the usual people
snark: an attitude or expression of mocking irreverence and sarcasm
Do I think that people like Beatrice Fihn start wars? I do.
So while I am sarcastic and irreverent about Beatrices thought processes, mind set and world view, I am serious in holding her way of doing things as being wrongnheaded, harmful and stupid.
This woman can sing kumbayah very well.
I have thought that the peace prize was political and also thrown away when it was given to the poor , persecuted person with the Goth name decades ago.
