Somewhere between her karma-quake remark and Christian Dior removing her from their Chinese advertisements, Ms. Stone deeply apologized for her "you reap what you sew" remark and will commit herself to relief effort in devastated and grief-stricken China.  Oh yeh, she's very sad she hurt the Chinese people's feelings.  Her heart couldn't be heavier with shame.  Come on, is this woman crazy?

For those of you who don't know:  Actress Sharon Stone, former Scientologist and present-day ordained minister with the Church of Life, oh, and recently converted Buddhist, believes karma unearthed the devastating Chinese earthquake a week ago.  This is the same earthquake that literally killed 70, 000 and that number is climbing.  In an interview during the Cannes Film Festival Stone questioned whether the Chinese government's recent mistreatment of the Tibetans and their desire to end Chinese rule, brought on the wrath, and quote, "when you're not nice that bad things happen to you?"

Now I'm no stranger to spiritual and apocalyptic discourse.  I have friends and fam whose belief systems range from Jesus will return from the East to there is no God to the year 2012 will bring on such catastrophic change that only the psychically-intuned will survive and NASA as well as the Mayan calendar will support such.  

Let me be clear:  I find most belief systems quite fascinating and I'm even more intrigued by the road that leads one to their belief than the belief itself.  But I certainly don't condone the notion that 70,000 humans lost their lives to a 7.8 temblor because of the alleged corrupt tactics of some alleged aggressive government on a small region of peaceful monks.  That's ludicrous and insane and just cruel.  I don't care if the Dalai Lama is her best friend.  His Holiness hobnobs with lots of celebs.  Big deal!

A few years ago, after Hurricane Katrina sent many New Orleaners to Houston for refuge and Hurricane Rita threatened to uproot them once again, a cousin of mine, educated and Christian, said Rita was heading to Houston because it was "following all that witchery".  Meaning, New Orleans natives are a bunch of voodoo-practitioners whose heathen nature set in motion a karmic reaction that literally cracked the walls of the levee and flooded 80 percent of their city, killing hundreds.  And even if they flocked to Houston because their homes were literally underwater, God was going to find them because witchery like that will get its just-do.  I'm sorry, but the logic of some people absolutely bewilder. 

Whether earthquakes strike or tornadoes level entire towns, the loss of human life is always tragic.  And to blame the greedy actions of some top-notch government for seismic activity is delusional.  I really wish people would step off their moral podiums, shut up about karma's wrath and just act in movies, teach the kiddies, whatever pays the mortgage.  But just stop with the spiritual backlash crap before someone unleashes a karmic wrath on you and Christian Dior removes you from their ads because "when you're crazy, you lose your popularity."
