Alfred Nobel

So I watched the nobel speech by Obama. Far and away my favorite Obama speech. Not for his diction but for his subject. The fact that he now was confronted with an international audience and showed him to be a man not of one nation but many was important to how i see him. His insistence on the common denomination of our humanity was profoundly touchy and something i whole heartedly share. It is an ideal/reality that i have always held that in the end we are all human. We will live, die, eat, sleep and we must celebrate that. We must not conform to celebrating a nation but our humanness.

I will watch the speech again.

But things i did not like the use of the word "evil" and his informal reference to ghandi and king as ghandi and king.
