Wild Pigs and Free Corn

---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: The Working Class
Subject: NO FREE LUNCH
THIS IS TRULY THOUGHT PROVOKING.....TAKE THE TIME TO
READ IT....AND SEND IT ON TO THOSE THAT YOU THINK ARE WORTH SENDING TO
AS I HAVE DONE.....
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, which are used to the free corn, start to
come through the gate to eat the free corn, 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 Communism/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, 'You can never hire someone to provide a service
for you cheaper than you can do it yourself.'
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 then you will probably delete this
email, but God help you when the gate slams shut!

Well, I agree with most of all of that, except if there's no "free
lunch" for we working class Americans, then the "free lunch" for the
rest of the non-working politicians should stop as well. The gate is
going to slam not because we are used to the free corn, but because we
are so compliant with stupid laws, and used to sitting on our asses
and letting these bastards in office get away with their criminal
activity against the American people and our Constitution.

Don't Sit On Your Ass & Do Nothing

I've always been a believer in change. It's inevitable, and you might as well deal with it. This particular blog is designated to just that. Change and Repair.
We have things going on in this government that we ought not just sit on our asses and take. If we want to live in this country and call ourselves free, then we better get busy and get free.
