Catching Wild Pigs

WELL, AND TRULY SAID...THEY KEEP NIBBLING AWAY UNTIL THEY
HAVE EATEN THE WHOLE COUNTRY...

Catching Wild Pigs Karl Marx once said, "Remove one freedom per
generation, and soon you will have no freedoms and no one will have
noticed." 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, an 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 c*******ts in
his native country who were trying to o*******w his country's government
and install a new c*******t regime.

Then, the student 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 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 every day to eat the free food. When they
are used to coming every day, you put a fence down one side of the place
where they are used to coming. At first they are scared, but 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 onthem 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 & Canada. The government keeps
pushing us toward C*******m/Socialism and keeps spreading the free corn
out in the form of programs such as supplemental income, tax credit for
unearned income, tax exemptions, tobacco subsidies, dairy subsidies,
payments not to plant crops (CRP), welfare entitlements, medicine, drugs,
etc., while we continually lose our freedoms, just a little at a
time. One should always remember two t***hs: 1 There is no such thing as
a free lunch, and 2 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 & Canada, you might want to share this with your
friends. If you think the free ride is essential to your way of life,
then you will probably not share this. BUT, God help us all when the gate
slams shut. Think about this:

"Most of the problems we face as a country today are there because the people who work for a living are now outnumbered by those who v**e for a living."

Why can’t Seattle or any other city control the r****rs and l**ters?

Reminds me of Charming Antelope herds. A small tribe of say 30 people would pile stones and brush up in columns while a group would go far beyond the herd and move them closer to the columns. The next day more columns would be made and the people would spread out behind the herd and move them in closer. The antelope would eventually reach the columns but would not go past them. After about 6 days the herd would be close enough and held by fear inside an invisible fence and the people could use arrows and spears to k**l the herd.

Thanks for bringing that story to us. To bad there are so many blind pigs in America. It will take the rest of us to not go for that free corn and still forage on our own. That is what will keep that last fence from going up. and the free feeding pigs will never realize that what little freedom they have is because of us and never thank us.
