Instant Karma (just add karma)... Or "We're going to kill your children."
For years, Instant Karma ran through my head as one atrocity after another was revealed about the Bush administration. I'm not usingthe idea of karma here as a Buddhist belief or any particular personal philosophy; I think it is simply a kind of hope that "right" will prevail or perhaps a "what goes around" balance that keeps us honest. But with the latest piece in the long intricate puzzle that is the cover up of all high crimes and misdemeanors, that interior anthem faded, replaced by the sounds of dark resignation or occasionally drowned out by the external broadcasts of smooth, soothing plastic elevator music reassuring us that we were America, home of the brave and righteous.
