They should have given the peace prize to the Discovery team for their non-aggressive riding in this years TdF.
Seriously though, this is the first price in a long time, that has met nearly unanimous support across the political spectrum in Norway.
The only negative voice I have yet heard comes from NORAD, a major government foreign aid enterprise. No wonder they don't like it. If this takes off, it might just put their corrupt crony behinds out of business.
Cheers.
LOL, on the snarky DSC comment!
Thanks for the local bird's-eye low-down on the reception in Norway.
From what I've read, Grameen had its start as a University project way back in 1976, so I'd say that it's definitely 'taken off'. Dunno if their model has been transplanted to other countries, tho. A poster on this thread, or another, mentioned that this model might work well in the areas of southern Mexico.
