Oddly, I had first recommended we drop the whole karma-line because I
figure it's too tied up in religion *and* popular culture.  Then I
realized that was a bit stupid of me, if it is offensive someone on this
list will let us know.

Since the rewards for good karma usually are delivered in subsequent
lifetimes, my thinking is to pick a name that is reflective of this
current incarnation. :)
