Let's get zombified on new drug Tranq (video)

In the funny cult classic, Shaun of the Dead, zombies take over, but Shaun hardly notices. We are Shaun. Look around. Something's wrong. As liberals, are we doing anything to stop it? No, we're just harm reducers, letting the capitalists and bankers who fund them rule the day. A lot of people are making a lot of money. And suffering is rampant. Dr. Gabor Mate explains the roots of the problem, but who offers an immediate solution? In the long, long term, let's fix the whole world. Until then, let's think of something compassionate and effective right now. Let's stop going to extremes.

VIDEO (AP) It is possible that karma may have contributed to his condition, but it is certain that karma is responsible for his overcoming obstacles. Karma means deeds, that which is willed and carried out. Vipaka and phala (results and fruits of past karma) is no match for karma in the present moment.

Failure to remember this distinction leads to great misunderstandings and severe backlash against figures like Sharon Stone. (Stone suggested China's earthquake disaster might have had something to do with its collective treatment of Tibet). Beings endure many lives, carried on by their karma, always with choice IF they can see the karma-options in front of them.

It is famously said in karmic-Christian context:

"Every saint has a past, every 'sinner' a future."
