for outstanding vision and work on behalf of our planet and its people
Ah, to win a Noble prize instead of "Nobel" one! Then we will have arrived. Wisdom Quarterly sweeps the ceremony taking Peace Activism, Sacred Spirituality, Literature, and Journalism awards in a phenomenal year when just telling the truth was a revolutionary act. 2012 will be our year... or so help us on Dec. 21, 2012, there's going to be trouble.The Right Livelihood Awards are an alternative to the Nobel Prizes, which have lost a great deal of luster, judging by the awarding of a Nobel Peace Prize to B.S. Obama, who continues to oversee war(s) on a scale grander than Dick Cheney orchestrated in eight years of secretly controlling the office of the presidency.
