"Karma" and other excuses

I read this article and found myself guilty to some degree in all categories.  I'm kinda tongue and cheek about my new age beliefs.  Others take themselves quite seriously.  How about a reality check for all of us.

I was a big fan of Natalie Merchant and 10,000 Maniacs back in the late 80's.  I first heard Iris Dement sing this song about fifteen years ago on a local radio station.  It expressed my feelings at the time. Not much has changed in spite of all the changes I've been through.  I like her version but I thought it would be fun to share this one.
