New kid on this old block.

[Guest guest]

Please allow me to introduce myself. I'm a man of wealth and tastes… kidding. I

went back a little way in the posting archives to try to get a feel for this

group before attempting to jump in, but my time is somewhat limited, so what the

hell, here goes.

I'll try not to waste your time by talking about myself or my experiences in a

way that is not directly related to the topic at hand. I would, however, like

to give everyone a chance to talk about themselves. What interest me the most

is hearing about other people's numinous experiences. If , as a group, you've

grown sick of hearing each other's stories but wouldn't mind relating them to

fresh ears, you could send them directly to me.

I would like to make a comment about the latest topic of injustice. Obviously

the grandmother in the story doesn't believe in Karma for herself or else she'd

be worried about the price of failing to correct the injustice when it came to

light. The grandmother's response that she's just a tool of the children's

Karma is probably the same excuse used by many of the world's greatest despots.

In the words of another great philosopher:

" I believe in Karma. That means I can do bad things to people all day long and

I assume they deserve it. " - Dogbert
