Continued On Page 28 Street Talk Do You Believe In Karma? Yes, I do. I feel like if you do some- one wrong it will come back on you. Oh yes, I do. I've been living 47 years and believe me, what goes around comes around, but not al- ways the way you might expect it. Yes, I do. I've seen it happen. You must do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Not really. I guess... because I be- lieve God has a hand in everything. No. Life is what you make it. You should always be in control of your own actions. Terry Canipe Paul Lockett Patricia Ross Rachel Roby Leigh Russ 503 N.
