46. Karma may be telling us to look inside ourselves and see what wonderful things Rummy did for us.
Thu May 31, 2012, 04:21 PM
May 2012

Like using his position with Nixon to abuse the system and continuing to get the masses to agree to whatever was done ever since. Then to teach us just how bad it can get if we refuse to accept that what he's done is part of all of us, a part that we don't want to admit.

I have difficulty with the way some people (not you or others here) apply their meanings to the laws of karma. Some sound like the desert religion and their view of punishment, but I'm guessing that one is what one is. That existence is its own reward or punishment.

I'm sure Rummy, Darth and Shrub believe they have done the right thing when they did things that caused the death of so many people. That's what's so disturbing, to be on the other side of the equation they made.

It's about time. alfredo May 2012 #1
