The peace prize not so noble after all.

Let me start off by saying i'm not religious nor am I a Catholic, but I did like Pope John Paul the Second. Well, a few weeks ago I was talking to my friend, Joe and I said the Noble Peace Prize commission should nominate John Paul for a prize as he had done many things in the cause of peace. I also thought that the Dali Lama should be up for the prize as well.

I learned by accident on a news clip that indeed the Pope was up for the prize, but since he had died they disqualified him. Why? This is disgusting! I mean now that he is dead does this mean all the work he had done was for not? Did not his efforts still matter to the people he helped? Did not what he stood for matter anymore? I think that disqualifying him or anyone because they are deceased to me mean that the prize loses much of it's meaning and If I find a way to contact those in charge. I will let them know that I no longer hold their prize to matter because If one loses their value after death and they can't get the prize then the prize is WORTHLESS!

Those who have made the rule that people who die can't get the award ought to remember that the person they have dropped from the running may well have saved thousands of lives and I for one am outraged at their actions!

If I find a way to e-mail the commission I'll add it to this post and I'll ask all who read my post to take action and to right a wrong. I feel those who work for peace need to be counted as many people would not be brave enough to speak out for peace, freedom, and justice for all human life on earth.
