With age comes wisdom — except if you’re Shirley MacLaine:
(hat tip: Dirty Harry)
“The whole question of terrorism, and it’s not just me saying this, is that terrorism is evil to us, not to them,” she said. “There was a time when American revolutionaries were called terrorists, and look what we got out of it.”
MacLaine said she did not believe in death, but the “recycling of souls.”
“That’s why we have to question war,” she said. “Who is being killed here? You just incur the energy of karma. And that’s why we have to get into these different cultures and understand what they’re talking about.
“The ancient cultures went into these questions,” she said. “Our culture is so new we don’t go into, especially new Christianity … It’s a subject that a lot of Western Christians don’t like to discuss, because that robs them of this passionate idea of evil.”
Moral equivalence? Check. Misunderstanding of American history? Check. Blaming Christianity while letting Islam off scott free? Check.
