HOW to catch wild pigs!

THIS IS TRULY THOUGHT PROVOKING.

There was a chemistry professor in a large college that had some exchange
students in the class.
One day while the class was in the lab, the Prof noticed one young man, an
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
regime.

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 that it 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, which are used to the free corn, start to come through the gate to
eat that free corn again.
You then 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
in 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, tax cuts, tax
exemptions, 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 two truths:
1) There is no such thing as a free lunch
2) and you can never hire someone to provide a service for you cheaper than
you can do it yourself.

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 BERATE THIS.

But God help you when the gate slams shut!

....but "Americans" haven't, and will NEVER notice the fence, until long
after the corn is gone.
