True Story??? Maybe not, but something to think about while eating corn.
THIS DESCRIBES WASHINGTON, DC!!!!!
Catching Wild Pigs
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 in his native country 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 forgottenhow 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, 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 .

to give you everything you want, is big enough to take away
everything you have"
