SugarMyChurro: Yes. There is a reason for that, too. A Nobel Peace prize committee is not the same as referencing a questionable news source. It requires references and life-time work and achievement equal to commentaries from about a hundred Sterns, vetted over months and months, by many people in as objective a way as they can possibly manage. A commentary like Stern's, based on extremely subjective opinion, takes minutes to write - based on some reading of highly subjective and-or biased sources, OR if it's a sensationalistic book - based on a lot of innuendo and very little (if any) actual proof or backed-up fact, maybe a few weeks to write. And in the case of the book, the money made from it sure as hell probably ain't going to help the poor in India. Stern's is the biased commentary of one person. I certainly don't consider that proof - and especially I don't consider it proof that would negate the references required by a Nobel Peace prize committee - or in any case, especially to negate's someone's entire life's work to aid the poor and dying - from someone who did that work for 62 years the best way they knew how, and lived in poverty themselves while doing it. Regardless of their religion - or whether or not they screwed up a few times, as every human being is wont to do in the course of this life, no matter how much they might want to avoid it. You apparently cannot tell the difference, and thus we have no business conversing on this topic together. But like I said, I am not able to get this across to you - so I am going to bed. Peace be with you, too. - Susan
