In awarding their Peace Prize this year, the Nobel selection committee indisputably revealed to the world that their most important selection criterion is idealism.
In the spirit of this important revelation, I would like to nominate this young lady for the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize:
I've never seen anyone with such a perfect combination of raw idealism and cluelessness, and such a strong sense of left-wing political priorities. Her vision of a better world should be rewarded, shoudn't it?

If this is typical of California voters then there's little wonder why Californian is a failed state. I like the part about the land being free and that the east cost uses slaves. Thing is, she doesn't even have a clue about how ignorant she is. She would make a good Jay walk candidate on the Leno show.

Man, I watched her once several months ago and I felt my intelligence slipping till I killed it off, no way will I listen to such inanity again.
To say that she's clueless is an insult to clueless people everywhere so yes, I too would give her the prize because it makes as much sense as giving it to 'The Won'.

This prevalent personality type in CA is a large part of why I returned to the PRNJ in 1997. But NJ is on the same path as CA, so I've had to vote with my feet again.

please understand that this woman does NOT represent the "average" resident of Santa Cruz.
She represents the intelligentsia!!
She is at the top of the food chain for that enclave. And yes, elites of her ilk are indeed sweeping through and infesting every aspect of life in the once Golden State.
ALL arguments based on reality fail miserably against these people. Imagine trying to debate the potential for economic collpase based on current trends and having her explain that there will be NO collapse, because "the machines will make things for us".

Most of the O's czars think the same way as she does about America. In fact she would be a perfect candidate for "Free Food" czar or "Free Land" czar, "Free Car" czar or how about Treasury "Free Money" czar. Lots of free money being passed out there for no good reason.

Hang on! There's a nugget of truth in there if you listen closely: "If the rent was lowered, there would be people who would really have their own businesses..."
Translated into normal human speech: If we lower the cost of doing business there would be more businesses in town. In other words if you lower the tax rates it would promote business development and improve the economy.
Meanwhile...I'm moving to the east coast where apparently I can still own slaves according to this lady.

Frankly she wasn't that much worse than my sister-in-law (BS Anthropology, Brandeis Univ). Last we talked I was regaled with how cell phone towers are killing untold millions of birds that circle the flashing red lights like moths until they die from exhaustion, and how vegan was the best lifestyle (she's not even a real vegetarian) amongst other things.
I have built up immunity to stupid.

Was that REAL?
She has made me a Liberal.
We need the Nanny state to take action now.
The Government has to pass a law to prevent her from breading.
Her words cause brain cell death, so she can only talk in public places when no one functional hearing is around.
We need to provide her with free health care so she can get a brain transplant.

She's not dangerous. Yes, she's old enough to vote, but does she know that? Could she remember when election day is and be able to find a polling place? I doubt it.
She'll be too busy looking for free food and land, and decrying the slave trade that still exists in the eastern half of this nation (and China).
Actually, I wonder if she has seen this online and whether she has the presence of mind to be embarrassed by her display.
