The world has a structure articulated in terms of all the different kinds of actions, purposes, roles and ways of organizing one's life that are available to us within our culture.... But the space of possibilities will never be something that can be measured or described objectively. It is something, instead, that has to be understood to be seen. - Mark A. Wrathall, BYU Philosophy professor

The Peace Prize
Obama's peace prize speech is another example of his powerful ability to share ideas and shape others perception of him. He is good at that. There has been a great deal of controversy over whether he deserved the prize. It seems obvious to me that he has not earned it and the prize was given to him because he is not Bush. But I think Obama agrees and acknowledged he has not earned it. He used his speech to promise he will do his best and do the work to earn it. God be with him. I hope he does.
