When I heard what Sharon Stone said about people dying in Sichuan, China as karmic retribution for Tibet I almost laughed/puked. This is from the dried-up not-working-anymore actress with the self-proclaimed highest IQ of any woman in Hollywood? More like the village idiot. Suck it Stone.
Sharon Stone might have been just indirectly citing the Mandate of Heaven concept of imperial China, which states that natural disasters indicate that the injustice or incompetence of rulers has repealed the divine right to govern the polity.
This is the Sharon Stone who went to college at 15 and supposedly has an IQ of 154? That would make her smarter than 99.98% of the population. She doesn't sound that intelligent.
Now that's a good Critical Mass ride. If only NYPD could be as level-headed as Toronto police.
NY Critical Mass took over the entire northbound side of the FDR, from the onramp near Bowling Green all the way up to just past the Brooklyn Bridge. This happened on the last Friday of July, 2004- a month before the RNC rides which brought the wrath of the NYPD down on Critical Mass riders from there on out.
Being Toronto, that Critical Mass ride ended with a tea social at a gay bookstore.
Sony, it was actually a straight bookstore that happens to sell a lot of books with homosexual themes. And their muffins are amazing.
