CATCHING WILD PIGS 

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 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 over-throw h is country's government and 
install a 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 t o 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 that are used to the free 
corn start to come through the gate to eat, and then 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 e ating 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, etc, etc. While we continue to 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. 

So, 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 t he free ride is 
essential to your way of life then you will probably delete this e-mail, but God 
help you when the gate slams shut! 

In this 'very important' election year, listen closely to what the candidates 
are promising you - just maybe, you will be able to tell who is about to slam 
the gate on America. 

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