It's full of mountains, hardly any plains, it's the perfect place for a ski resort. The thing that most people know Swaziland for (least most people I know) is having the highest Aids infection rate, which is something like 50% now. Not exactly chocolate...

Well, oddly many thousand scientists have with joy accepted Nobel prizes. So guess that just goes to prove that the world's smartest people are just stupid, because they value receiving the award. It's said that one of his mother's favorite projects was micro-financing. Which in itself was the subject of a Peace prize in recent years. Saw recently a clip from a scene where women lined up in an Indian village to receive their granted mini-loans, while their husbands stood outside (husbands not being eligible for loans, as they drink up the money and don't pay it back). It brought tears to my eyes. Now his mother's interest in mini-loans to poor villagers doesn't make Obame a saint. He was already the return of Christ for me. When will they crucify him? They got Jack Kennedy when he was going to pull the plug on the CIA, Vietnam and the Federal Reserve Bank (which is privately owned)!!! And the Secret Service can't even keep wannabe socialites from gate-crashing. Someone claimed that Obama cheapens the award.

The Norwegians might feel a bit snubbed by the American President truncating the ceremonies because he is embarassed, as indeed he should be, but then I just say that Gandhi should have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize and never was, yet he still stands for non violence and as an icon of non violence - they should redeem themselves by posthumously awarding the Nobel Peace Prize to Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi next year for what he did achieve and how he has inspired so many people ever since. Obama has to stop lecturing the world until he has actually achieved!!!!
