In reading about China’s understandable reaction to Sharon Stone’s karma remark concerning the devastating quake that hit the country earlier this month, I couldn’t help noticing the irony contained in her statement.  Stone said, “I’m not happy about the way the Chinese are treating the Tibetans because I don’t think anyone should be unkind to anyone else. And then this earthquake and all this stuff happened, and then I thought, is that karma? When you’re not nice that the bad things happen to you?”  Sniff…sniff…why is that the unmistakable stench of patronizing hypocrisy emanating from from Stone’s  ill thought out statement?  Why yes it is.  I sure hope nothing bad happens to her for not being nice to people who are suffering a great tragedy.  But then I guess that would just be bad karma…right?
