    Wild Pigs
    >>
    >> 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.
    >>
    >> 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 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.
    >>
    >> 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 you will probably delete this email rather than
    >> forward it,
    >> but God help you when the gate slams shut!
    >>
    >> "A government big enough to give you everything you want, is big enough
    >> to take away everything you have." ....... Thomas Jefferson"
