That's not what it's all about, Alfie.
As usual the Nobel Evil Prize is given to a champion of genocide, some pointless theatrical "anti-nuke" Sorosdemon.
I've been blaming the Scandinavian lunatics who give the prize, but we really should be blaming old Alfie Nobel himself for misunderstanding human nature.
He invented dynamite, which has saved lots of lives in mining and construction because it's a firmly CONTROLLABLE explosive. At the end of his life he got squishy after seeing that his tool could be used for other purposes. He bequeathed his fortune for prizes to the best DECONTROLLER of violence, and the prize committee has followed his wishes.
What he misunderstood: Bullies and psychopaths will ALWAYS find a weapon. Cutting the availability of weapons only hurts the victims.
Bullies can always invent new ways to kill and hurt people. There's no limit to innovative disruption.
You can't stop a bully by limiting weapons, but you CAN stop a bully by convincing him that EVERY POSSIBLE VICTIM is ready to kill him as soon as he starts a fight. The proper goal is TOTAL PROLIFERATION, not non-proliferation.

Stupid linguistic sidenote: The above title is unreadable by conservatives and Fox News viewers. Translating it into Neoconese: "That is not that, about which, it all is, Mr Nobel."
