University
There was a Chemistry professor at a large college that had some
exchange students in the class. One day while the class was in lab
the Professor noticed one of the young exchange student who kept
rubbing his back and stretching as if his back hurt. TOP
Fighting Back
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?" TOP
Catching 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. TOP
Resistance at first, then
...
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. TOP
Keep giving away things
until you find what they want
The young man then told the professor that is exactly what he sees
happening to America . The government keeps pushing you toward
Communism/Socialism and keeps spreading the free corn out in the
form
of programs such as supplemental tax credit for unearned income,
tobacco subsidies, dairy subsidies, payments not to plant crops
(CRP), welfare, free drug programs, free medical care, etc. while
you
continually lose your freedoms in other areas - just a little at a
time. TOP
Value is only added, when labor
is involved - Free Stuff is Stuff!
One should always remember there is no such thing as a free Lunch!
Also remember a politician will never provide a service for you or
to you
cheaper than you can do it yourself. If you think a free ride is
essential
to your way of life, then God help you when the gate slams shut! TOP
Give,
then take
"A government big enough to give you everything you want, is big
enough to take away everything you have."
Thomas Jefferson"
