    Yeah and like Nobel was such a great guy to start with. Maybe its good all these reckonings roll in every day. Maybe we can realize that at large we have been pieces of shit, that we got a lot of work to do.

      Nobel not being such a great guy is the whole reason for the Nobel prizes. Does something to be called Merchant of death to a person I suppose

        Yeah it washed his name clean. People dont associate Merchant of Death with Nobel anymore. The award shouldn’t be named after a person.

          You could always petition the Nobel foundation to change its name. But a bit audacious to remove the Nobel part from the prize Nobel set up in his last will?

          edit: out of interest, what would you call it?
