The faithful servants of the ruling class are always being HONORED for some jackass-or perverse- " achievement ". Here in Rhode Island I can't even take seriously the Golden Apple Award for " teacher of the week " .
Did not Barack Obama and Henry Kissinger receive Nobel Peace Prizes ? They gave us " peace with honor " ?
Less politics involved in a Nobel Prize for science . But the name William Shockley is still notorious. Fritz Haber gave us poison gas - but also saved the world from starvation. LIFE is full of dialectical contradictions.
Harper Lee's " To Kill A Mockingbird " did deserve that Pulitzer Prize for literature. Her book definitely served the Civil Rights Movement. It is now banned in some schools for unforgivable use of the n-word. Atticus Finch can be forgiven for believing firmly in " the integrity of our courts and jury system ".
