Well, I would consider being saved from death to be something that would
cover a multitude of motives.  Given the choice, I would rather have my life
saved by someone acting for selfish reasons than be shot by someone acting
for the good of humanity.

My view is Sir, if those two are the choices left, we should get to the
rectifying the cause of both, rather than the symptoms. That is what Theosophy
is about .. is it not?
