"A pious man explained to his followers: "It is evil to take lives and noble to save them. Each day I pledge to save a hundred lives. I drop my net in the lake and scoop out a hundred fishes. I place the fishes on the bank, where they flop and twirl. 'Don't be scared,' I tell those fishes. 'I am saving you from drowning.' Soon enough, the fishes grow calm and lie still. Yet, sad to say, I am always too late. The fishes expire. And because it is evil to waste anything, I take those dead fishes to market and I sell them for a good price. With the money I receive, I buy more nets so I can save more fishes." - Anonymous

The above appears in Amy Tan's book entitled Saving Fish From Drowning (http://www.amazon.com/Saving-Fish-Drowning-Amy-Tan/dp/1441839860). For some reason after reading it, I could not help but think of heretical Gnostic idea of disembodiment as salvation (http://articles.latimes.com/1988-06-05/books/bk-6688_1_peoples-temple)(is that along the same thinking as Jihadist's (http://www.meforum.org/1003/the-religious-foundations-of-suicide-bombings) and kamikaze pilots (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3181207/Their-pillows-soaked-tears-Teenage-girls-job-look-wave-Kamikaze-pilots-suicide-missions-emotional-trauma-Japanese-airmen-suffered-70-years-ago.html)?), the NWO, 'geo-engineering (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsT-QrFA-Yo)', invasive administrative law (http://savingtosuitorsclub.net/showthread.php?1569-Is-Administrative-Law-Lawful-(Video-Philip-Hamburger)), the party-pooping, buzz-kill of the financial system disturbers (http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/cifamerica/2010/sep/20/tarp-bailout-banks-wall-street) to " the Islamic/Manichean invasion ([URL="http://www.christianpost.com/news/all-churches-in-america-have-muslim-spies-in-them-who-are-cataloging-every-jew-and-christian-in-preparation-for-jihad-warns-author-avi-lipkin-140432/)" to Gnostics that hate Christianity but yet its really Gnosticism that they hate?

It sums it up so succinctly: everything from Michael Brown, to criminals disguised as police putting a woman in a psych ward because the don't believe she owns a BMW (https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/241) to chemtrails to erosion of rights to Fukushima (http://www.globalresearch.ca/the-ocean-is-dying-marine-and-animal-life-die-offs-california-coast/5451836) to radiation killing life in the Pacific Ocean (http://thinkprogress.org/climate/2015/07/29/3685149/dead-salmon-pacific-northwest/)--why wont they just leave well enough alone? Well, duh its because they're busy saving fish from drowning (http://enenews.com/experts-10000-baby-sea-lions-dead-one-california-island-getting-crazy-very-difficult-death-crisis-tv-numbers-skyrocketing-alarming-rates-woman-digging-graves-beach-bury-dead-bodies-videos)(aka misery loves company).
