Nope, no negative Karma. As someone (hm... was it Marc?) aleady pointed out,
Karma can't be used to measure morals. Is it really better to shoot a cop then
a kid? Why?
I'd run em through hell, then back, then through Chicago and back, whatever
mean you can do, and would _not_ give them the fat karma reward for rescuing
the kids (like *calculate* "Did this, 2 pnts, did not recue kids, no 10
points, survived, 1 point ... makes 3 points altogether!")
