This is a great essay. Another important example of nonviolent resistance during the Holocaust (documented at length in Nathan Stolzfus’s book, “Resistance of the Heart: Intermarriage and the Rosenstrasse Protest in Nazi Germany”) is of the Gentile women in Berlin whose public protest succeeded in preventing their Jewish husbands from being deported to death camps in the East.

Roderick, may I ask where you would go in literature for the clearest, most original, and/or most influential statement and/or poetic presentation of this idea?

That’s a good question, but I don’t have a good answer. So you win!

Ye prize is for those who do much “the abolition or reduction of standing armies.” From what I see, the prize went to the right person. The armies of the USA aren’t standing around much these days; they’re sitting around like ducks in places all over the world, places like like Ft.Hood, Mannheim, and Okinawa. And when they’re not sitting around they’re running around like Visigoths at a day-after-Thanksgiving sale. And when the USA armies aren’t doing any running around or sitting around they’re flying off the handle.

The current President has continued the practically 100-year USA tradition of not letting the armies just stand around. Therefore, Obama gets the prize.

The other lesser-known prize, the Peas Prize, is definitely a toss-up twixt the Jolly Green Giant or the Hulk.

This is why I say anarcho-”capitalist” not “anarcho”-capitalist.
