There was a Chemistry professor in a large college
that had some Foreign Exchange students in his class. One day while
the class was in the lab the Prof 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. When you see
that they all are peacefully eating the free corn, you slam the gate
shut 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 communism/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. We
continually lose our freedoms, just a little at a time While the ACLU
successfully continues it's agenda to ultimately turn the United
States into a communist state..
One should always remember "There is no such thing
as a Free Lunch!" Also, "You can never hire someone to 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 won't, but God help you
when the gate slams shut!
