Magpie:
Actually, one of the things I don't think I'm the only one to have 
noticed is that that's not really true. Karma often doesn't come 
back to bite the good guys. Their kindness to those who deserve it 
is especially praised and rewarded (sometimes overly so, imo), but 
so is their own nastiness to others.
