Default Catching pigs

CATCHING PIGSThere was a chemistry professor in a large college that had
some exchange students in the class. One day a student 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 lunch2) and you can never hire
someone to provide a service for you cheaper than you can do it
yourself.3)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.4)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!


Quail can be caught much the same way. Illegally of course. But hey, when you're
a hungry kid...!

Oh, BTW, this was great.

You'll probably be called a racist for it, but 'twas still great.

I've been called worse. Actually these birds here think their rants are
bothersome.
