You are certainly trying hard to make me look bad but regardless of whether you are successful in persuading your audience I reject your claim.
I am not out to get you. I am out to correct your view of historical fact. I apologize for acting such that the latter was mistaken for the former.
I have more than enough evidence to conclude that I would prefer a peace prize that is awarded to Stanislav Petrov and Ghandi than one awarded to Yasser Arafat and Al Gore.
I agree with you.
I further suggest that if you don't think Ghandi's example would be consistent with getting offended by things then you totally missed the point of what he did.
I do not think Gandhi would have organized a fast, walk, or strike over not receiving a prize.
A reminder for everyone: on this day in 1983, Stanislav Petrov saved the world.
It occurs to me this time around that there's an interesting relationship here - 9/26 is forgotten, while 9/11 is remembered. Do something charitable, and not patriotic, sometime today.
