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. This is 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
