Duh, Pearson is the guy that they named the Toronto airport for.

I vote for O'Hare, because he has a bigger airport named for him.

In 1976 Milton Friedman was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics for his achievements in the fields of consumption analysis, monetary history and theory, and for his demonstration of the complexity of stabilization policy.[2]

The committee that awards the peace prize is completely separate from the other Nobel prizes, it is even from a different country (Norway, others are Sweden).

Al Gore never said he invented the internet.

No one believes that Al Gore invented the internet.

In 2008, would it be too much to ask for you to vote based on things people have actually said and done? Probably.

Re: Who was more deserving of the Nobel Peace Prize? Pearson Vs Gore
 

Krugman had a funny article about deadenders and Gore.

"Gore Derangement Syndrome


On the day after Al Gore shared the Nobel Peace Prize, The Wall Street Journal’s editors couldn’t even bring themselves to mention Mr. Gore’s name. Instead, they devoted their editorial to a long list of people they thought deserved the prize more.

And at National Review Online, Iain Murray suggested that the prize should have been shared with “that well-known peace campaigner Osama bin Laden, who implicitly endorsed Gore’s stance.” You see, bin Laden once said something about climate change — therefore, anyone who talks about climate change is a friend of the terrorists.

.....What is it about Mr. Gore that drives right-wingers insane?


....The worst thing about Mr. Gore, from the conservative point of view, is that he keeps being right. In 1992, George H. W. Bush mocked him as the “ozone man,” but three years later the scientists who discovered the threat to the ozone layer won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. In 2002 he warned that if we invaded Iraq, “the resulting chaos could easily pose a far greater danger to the United States than we presently face from Saddam.” And so it has proved. "

Are we allowed to hold his speech at the 1996 DNC Convention against him? The one where he gave a tear-jerking speech detailing how his sister's death from cancer turned him into an anti-tobacco zealot? Of course, years after his sister's death he was still taking tobacco money and bragging that his family had grown tobacco. I certainly hold that against him.

Quite true, for what its worth, he said this:

In a March 10, 1999 interview with Wolf Blitzer of CNN, Al Gore bragged about his record said, "I took the initiative in creating the Internet."

First, I've never been to that site, second, I noticed you didn't address the facts in my post. Since you didn't, I'll give you another chance. A simple question for you and other Gore supporters. Did he give a speech at the DNC in 1996 talking about his sister's death from cancer, and how that changed his view of smoking/tobacco, while taking tobacco money and bragging about his family growing tobacco years after his sister died? Simple question.
