The Secretary of State is the agent of the President, who is the principle ( in the legal sense of agent/principle; the postmodern concept of "agency" is the exact opposite of this legal sense of "agency".) Repeat: I'm _not_ saying you have said this , Jim By the way, as far as I'm concerned, keeping McCain ( Mr. stay in Iraq for 100 years) out of the US Presidency _is_ a good enough reason to give Obama a peace prize, given the extraordinary impact the US has on war and peace in the world today. Furthermore, the Nobel Committee should be praised for trying to influcence Obama to do more for peace, trying to proactively influence real policy, instead of just giving an award that has no effect on future politics. There was a poll with 58% of Americans saying that award was given to O for "political reasons" . Duhh that's good. It was for good poliical reasons. Kudos to the Nobel Committees for having good politics and trying to use the award to actually make peace. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
