I believe that it was Henry David Thoreau or maybe Ralph Waldo Emerson that stated that countries have karma. That any transgression against cosmic right and wrong would come back to haunt the offending country. This belief came out of the idea that the United States Civil War was just cosmic retribution for the "illegal" Mexican War.
Well, after some recent events I am starting to wonder if the cosmos is starting to punish America, especially groups that supported the transgressions, and "rewarding" those countries that have stood up against them.
Let me first state that I am not a conspiracy nut. This is just me in free thought. If you want to call me a nut - then I'm a nut.
Yesterday, an Air France jet crashes in Toronto, Canada and all 309 passengers and crew members walk away from it. A couple of injuries, but no fatalities. A Miracle? I don't know. Maybe. But France and Canada both were against the war in Iraq. Canada recently passed a law that allowed gay marriage. According to the Religious Right, God would surely punish Canada for that, but here you have this amazing event happen. Hmmm.
On the flip side, you have here in the United States organizations like the Boy Scouts that seem to be under a bad omen. Now I hate that they anyone gets hurt or dies, but here is a very vocal organization against gays and non-religious people and boom - scout leaders fried pitching a tent, heat stroke about scouts, and then another troop struck by lighning killing two.
I am not a religious person, if anything I am an agnostic. But it seems that the cosmos may be telling us something. I don't know - I'm just another nut.
