The young man then told the professor that is exactly what he sees happening to America. The government keeps pushing us toward fascism & totalitarianism and keeps spreading the free corn out in the form of platitudes & outright lies like, "we're winning the War on Terror and the US is safer," and "you have nothing to worry about if you're not guilty," and "you can trust us -- your government -- to protect your privacy, rights, and freedom" and "Big Business will look out for our interests in national security, conservation, truth in lending, safety in pharmaceuticals & our food supply, the environment, etc. and make sure the free market makes goods affordable."  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 when someone stands to profit by the loss of our rights!  Also, many politicians will give away our liberties without batting an eye depending on the direction the administration is blowing.

So, if you see that all of this wonderful government 'Give Away' is a problem confronting the future of democracy in America, you might want to send this on to your friends. If you think the throwing away of our rights and liberties 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 and who has already started the process.

If you're not part of the solution, then you're part of the problem!

As Thomas Jefferson said, "A government big enough to give you everything you want, is big enough to take away everything you have," something we've seen become frighteningly real during the Bush & Cronies years.

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
