Yes. But we have AIDS, cancer, heart attacks and stress-related problems to make
up for it...
 
Still those of us who are destined to get sick because of our bad karma get
sick...
 
We also take birth in a certain society because of our karma. So you get born in
America because you have qualified yourself for a better lifestyle... It's not
that all places are the same. Some countries are very nice, some are very
hellish...
 
(BTW you are not guaranteed a birth in America next time around...)

 
 
Thank you. Hare Krishna!
