Free corn



something to think about


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: "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, which are used to the free corn, start to come through the gate to
eat; you slam the gate shut 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 credits 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".

Remember this: 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.

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 shut" on America.


NEVER FORGET:
"A government big enough to give you everything you want,
is big enough to take away everything you have".
- Thomas Jefferson
