Regardless of one's opinion of the Nobel Peace Prize, this is illogical reasoning. (Maybe the intended word is hypocrisy rather than oxymoron?) In any case, Nobel invented dynamite, which is a lot less likely to explode accidentally than nitroglycerin, which is what killed his brother and motivated his invention. But my main point is that whatever led up to the creation of the Nobel Peace Prize is a separate issue from the merits of the prize itself. --Dan << . . . the Economics Nobel hasn't become the oxymoron that the "Nobel Peace Prize" has (Nobel invented weapons grade nitroglycerin).
