Mass Unexplained Dead Fish and Birds Around the World. Is This the Beginning of the End?

 "There has not been a generation that has not cried, 'The end is near.'" -George Washington University religion professor Paul Duff recently said when asked about all the dead birds and fish being found around the globe.  I cannot believe more truer words have ever been spoken. 

I live in North West Arkansas in the Ozark Mountains.  I am a few hundred miles from the 3000 to 5000 blackbirds that died in Beebe, Arkansas last weekend.  I am a few hundred miles from the river where thousands of drum fish washed up on the banks.  I am also a few hundred miles from the New Madrid Fault.  Coincidence? Yep, 100% coincidence.

I am also a lot of miles from Chesapeake Bay where reportedly millions of fish up and died.  Dead fish have also been reported in Florida.  Yep, you guessed it I am quite a few miles away from that too.  The coast of Brazil has also had a ton of dead fish wash up on its shores.  Dead fish seem to be popping up everywhere, just like it has been for millions of years I suspect.

The internet is pretty new.  The TV waves have not been around for very long.  Writing, yep, writing has not been around since the dawn of man.  That is why there are no records.  200 years ago the dead fish and dead birds would be thought to have been a message from God that there was a witch living in the area.  500 years ago dead fish and birds would have been a Heretic living down the street.  A thousand years ago, dead fish and birds would mean the church would say God was displeased and giving more to the church would solve it.  Two thousand years ago dead fish and birds would have meant that the Gods were displeased, and they would probably need a sacrifice.

The point is that with mass media a  small amount of dead fish and dead birds can be shared and compared to "similar" events around the world.  Now, if large amounts of dead fish and dead birds start to happen all over the globe you might want to worry.  I mean if all the fish in all the lakes in Arkansas suddenly go belly up and then all the fish in the Nile and Amazon and Thames all dies and float up, you might want to worry.  But it seems that it does not take much for people to start crying wolf and talking about the end of times.

Of course this is just my opinion.  I will be really embarrassed in the next few months if locusts start attacking and everyone gets boils and such.  But I figure if that happens I won't have to worry about anyone saying "Ha! The dead fish and dead birds WERE the sing of the end of times!" because they we will all be dead just like the fish and birds.
