Catching Wild Pigs, they are on their way!
A chemistry professor in a large college had some exchange
students in the class. One day while the class was in the
lab the Professor noticed one
young man (exchange student) who kept rubbing his back,
and stretching as if his back hurt.
The professor asked the young man what was the matter. The
student told him he had a bullet lodged in his back. He had
been shot while fighting communists who were trying to
overthrow his country's government and install a new
communist government..
In the midst of his story he looked at the professor and
asked a strange question. He asked, 'Do you know how to
catch wild pigs?'
The professor thought it was a joke and asked for the punch
line. The young man said this was no joke. 'You catch
wild pigs by finding a suitable place in the woods and
putting corn on the ground. The pigs find it and begin to
come everyday to eat the free corn. When they are used to
coming every day, you put a fence down one side of the place
where they are used to coming. When they get used to the
fence, they begin to eat the corn again and you put up
another side of the fence. They get used
to that and start to eat again. You continue until
you have all four sides of the fence up with a gate in The
last side.. The pigs, who are used to the free corn, start
to come through the gate to eat, you slam the gate on them
and catch the whole herd.
Suddenly the wild pigs have lost their freedom. They run
around and around inside the fence, but they are caught.
Soon they go back to eating the free corn. They are so used
to it that they have forgotten how to forage in the woods
for themselves, so they accept their captivity.
The young man then told the professor that is exactly what
he sees happening to America . The government
keeps pushing us toward socialism and keeps spreading the
free corn out in the form of programs such as supplemental
income, tax credit for unearned income, tobacco subsidies,
dairy subsidies, payments not to plant crops (CRP), welfare,
medicine, drugs, etc.. While we continually lose our
freedoms -- just a little at a time.
One should always remember: There is no such thing as a
free lunch! Also, a
politician will never provide a service for you cheaper than
you can do it yourself.
Also, if you see that all of this wonderful government
'help' is a problem confronting the future of
democracy in America , you might want to send this on
to your friends. If you think the free ride is essential to
your way of life then you will probably
delete this email, but God help you when the gate slams
shut!
Keep your eyes on the newly elected politicians who
are about to slam the gate on America
.
