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 (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, 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, so be it.

enough to take away everything you have." - Thomas Jefferson
