Wild Pigs
There was a chemistry professor in
a large college that had some exchange students in the
class. One day while the class was in the lab, the professor noticed one
young man, an 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 in his native country who were
trying to overthrow his country's government and install
a new Communist regime.
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 that it 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, which are used to the free corn, start
to come through the gate to eat that Free corn again. You
then 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 in America .
The Government keeps pushing us toward Communism/Socialism
and keeps spreading the free Corn out in the form of programs
such as Supplemental income, tax credit for unearned income, Tax
cuts, tax exemptions, tobacco subsidies, dairy
Subsidies, payments not to plant crops (CRP), Welfare,
medicine, drugs, and pork barrel projects while we
continually lose our freedoms, just a little at a time.
One should always remember two truths: There is no Such
thing as a free lunch and you can never hire Someone to
provide a service for you cheaper than You can do it
yourself.
If you see that all of this
wonderful government 'help' is a problem confronting the
future of the republic 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!
The only thing I can add to this is a question for you......Which
candidates out there are most anxious to spread around
the free corn, and what might their
motives be? Think about it.
** Only point I personally would like to add is that the corn now
is totally unhealthly to eat because it has been genectically
modified.
