today when I watched a YouTube video of Milton Friedman receiving one for economics in 1976 after reading about and watching several documentary videos on YouTube about what happened in Chile and his part in it.
My respect for them was hanging by a thread anyway after President Obama won one for "peace" when he had only just entered office and had done practically nothing.
Re: Milton Friedman receiving one: disgusting.
I know this is an event where royalty shows up, hosts functions, and the like, and those of us on the royal jewels thread like that kind of thing, but what a farce. Martin Luther King, Jr. who won a Nobel Prize doesn't belong in the same sentence with the likes of Milton Friedman and the crimes against humanity he participated in gleefully. I hope Milton Friedman is burning in hell.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled program of looking at pretty things but I had to get that off my chest, somewhere, somehow. Thank you for understanding.
