CATCHING WILD PIGS

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. 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 use to coming every day, you put a fence down one side of the place where they are used to coming. When they get use to the fence, they begin to eat the corn again and you put up another side of the fence.

They get use 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 use 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.

"A government big enough to give you everything you want, is big enough to take away everything you have" Thomas Jefferson

Something about the word "free" should always evoke a warning bell in our heads. unsure.gif Usually who ever is offering free stuff has some agenda when it comes to the Govt., and the business world, and sadly even in some spiritual settings as well. Oh sure... it's nice to have free stuff..... but what did it cost us really? Did we sacrifice our freedoms to get some of that free stuff? If so... then it wasn't really free. blink.gif

Very good story UNEEK... I hope everyone that reads it really gets the warning from it. wink.gifThanks!!! - Rod

HEY HEY HEY -- You're keeping me busy tonight -- love it !! Well this was not a real "fun" post to do but it did warrant some attention to the truth in it -- and it is not a blasting - shoving down your throat message - (although don't you find that some do not catch on - or pay attention - or want to know and then you "feel" like blasting it in their face??) its one of those thought provoking ones - with a more subtle revelation to it -- lol Hello out there -- Wake Up !!!!
