[AGL] Nobelity, the film...

[Wayne Johnson]

While I have the utmost respect for the Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, et al Prizes the "Peace Prize" became a sick joke after Henry Kissinger received one.  Racist sack of shit!   No Kissinger "secret intervention" in Laos and Cambodia...quite possibly no billionaire drug lords playing kisse-face with the CIA...probaby no Khymer Rouge.   His "African" policy statements would have embaressed Cecil Rhodes and Lord Halifax.  (Essentially...let 'em all die so the "west" can have easy access to the natural resources.)  

Peace Prize has been devalued for some time and has little meaning anymore....although I was very glad to see those ultra courageous Irish ladies share one a few years ago.  But the actually had "courage" whereas Kissinger has only his withering and useless dick...uh...ego.

  Last night I went to Nobelity, a documentary film by Turk Pipkin, a man of many talents, the latest of which is film making. The film was premiered at SXSW and got well deserved enthusiastic reviews. He interviewed a half dozen or so Nobel peace prize winners, some of whom have died since the interview. It was a most uplifting experience even if the subject was ominously a discussion of the biggest problems facing the world today. The upshot was surprisingly optimistic. It was a rare exposure to the finest minds of our times, and something I would like to see again. 
  If I had more gelt I woulda bought a collector's DVD they were selling after the showing--instead I just bought a t-shirt to wear for my workouts at the "Y."
  There is a special screening at the Wild Basin by reservation for $25 on Friday, April 21, with the film maker and again Sunday April 23rd. There is also a showing at the Unitarian church on Grover this weekend. It is worth the effort to get to see it.
