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! |

Wow. Good analogy. And think, the kept piggies don't even know what they miss being stuck in the pen all day. Won't be long before government tells the little piggies how to bread, if they they are allowed to. Glad I am not as a penned up piggy as most. -- Socialism is a great ideal as long as someone else pays for it. And when no one is left to pay for it, they all can share nothing. |
