Nobel Prize for "effort"? The heck! You know... I never truly paid attention to the Peace Prize or anything else that they deal with... they suck! Al Gore beat out a woman who REALLY deserved it in 2007! Carter got it in 2002 (and not REAGAN who REALLY deserved it!) as well as YASSER ARAFAT in 1994! grrrr... since then I have ignored them. (yes... I was 8 and I knew that was wrong!)
Now, they have given it to some good people... like Mother Teresa, Martin Luther King Jr (even though he was a plagarist, therefore I will not call him "Doctor") and Elie Wiesel... but the fact that they give it to orginizations that are for "green" ness... those who are for no nuclear wars (okay, I will give, but if you hit us, we hit back harder with the SAME thing! And that means nuclear, too) and those who just make a movies with incorrect facts means that they are not doing what Alfred Nobel might have wanted.
They did not give it to Mahatma Ghandi at all! Not even posthumously. They just did not give the award that year (1948, the year he was assasinated).
They also forget people in the prize, giving it to two or three people in a group of collaborators. And they will not give one posthumous even if that person (like Rosalind Franklin who died of ovarian cancer before the award was given to her collaborators who, with her help, discovered and identified the DNA chain) is part of a group and the group is honored. They are re-writing history! These forgotten names get left out of the books because they must not have been important since they were not given the Nobel prize for that matter.
After 1994 they went wrong. They ignore the great workings of others who have done WAY more than the apologizing, placating, Olympics loosing, blaming, complaining, finger pointing, teleprompter, lying president that we have now.
That is all for now... I am too mad to get more words out that are coherent.

Dr. King plagiarized his doctoral dissertation?
ReplyDeleteYes he did.
ReplyDeleteMartin Luther King plagiarized in college-Truth!
The staff at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Papers Project discovered a lot of plagiarism in Martin Luther King's writings and in a 1991 article in THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY said that "plagiarism was a general pattern evident in nearly all of his academic writings" including his doctoral dissertation.

Those were in the top five of searching "Martin Luther King Jr Plagiarism" in Google. The story broke when you were a baby. Also, history books tend to just gloss over it all. I admit he had a great cause that he championed, but there is NO excuse for plagiarism.
