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!
