THESE ARE VERY TRUE WOEDS

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 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 .

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


Thomas Jefferson
