  1. Well, at least Stone was only asking if it could be karma.Ms. Stone, I’m sure you visit this blog often, so to answer your question – no. It’s not karma. No such thing.

  2. Karma: just another word for “blame the victim”. What does she have to say about the Buddhist people of Myanmar, the Buddhist leaders and the catastrophe caused by the recent typhoon?

  3. From a political stand point I have different political views than Senator Kennedy. I do wish him a speedy recovery and a long healthy life. My mother and father both died of cancer and my cat is currently dying of it. It is a terrible disease. It is not a disease something I would wish on anyone.
