Explosives.
>G. W. Bush run for it and came 2nd!
You don't "run for it", and the information about who "came second" is never released, so I don't know where you heard this, but it's not true.
Not that I disagree with your point about the Peace and to a lesser extent Literature prizes being horrendously politicised.
If I were the Nobel committee then each year I'd give the Nobel Peace Prize to a random civilian somewhere in the world who minds his own damn business.
- atmosx 12y agoTrue explosives (dynamite and all) was his thing... But on the moral side of things it's the same. For GW Bush I am reproducing what I ve read, but might very well be FUD, thanks for pointing that out. :-)

Without getting into the morality of gun technology (since the morality of a gun rather depends on whose hands you put it into), I'd say it's rather different because guns are used primarily as weapons whereas most of the world's explosives are used for peaceful purposes, in mining. Dyno Nobel is, to this day, one of the world's biggest suppliers of mining explosives.
