There is no way that I can document the authenticity of this story. However the point remains valid. gardenforge

"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, who are used to the free corn, start to come through the gate to eat, 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, free medical, 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.

Also, 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 want to disregard this or blow it off as conservative propaganda, but God help you when the gate slams shut!"

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

I have read this before, thank you for posting it!

Yes, I figure the gate is going to slam shut soon,

Ok, quiz time, kids.

About whom was the Cato Institute talking when they said,"____ has cost the American economy billions of dollars since 1980 and has indirectly cost Americans tens of billions of dollars in higher prices and higher taxes over that same period. At least 43 percent of ____'s annual profits are from products heavily subsidized or protected by the American government. Moreover, every $1 of profits earned by _____'s corn sweetener operation costs consumers $10, and every $1 of profits earned by its ethanol operation costs taxpayers $30."

Give up?

Looks to me like the Pigs are pulling the strings on the free corn, doesn't it? And whose strings do you think they're pulling?

I figure that when all this free corn(programs) runs out ,their will be a rude awakening for a lot of people .Worse yet even than that: Will there be any corn(real) period , even if you were wanting to pay for it?? It looks like some pretty rough hoeing up ahead. Hey, We don't even have any real corn or wheat surplus anymore like we used to have. We are running on close to empty.But no one seems to notice that till its gone or even talks about it. Is it because they just do not know how close things are operating to the empty mark? It is not just the gasoline. You have been stripped of nearly everything!!!It is not a coincidence that it is like this.Somebody is driving the BOAT, just like in 1929.(federal reserve folks) It is the(not) federal (no) reserve doing this to you dear FOLKS. I am not kidding !!This is for REAL!!YOU BEEN HAD!!!

We need to get back to Constitution type money , gold and silver(no inflation) and we need to make sure that the money is controlled by our govt and not by private dual citizenship people who have been stripping us bare, they are just nothing but parasites on us, regulating our paper worthless money up and down in value until you have nothing left. There should never be any inflation, it is caused by the parasite dual citizens regulating your money. They have been laughing at us stupid people. We are stupid for letting them do that to us.(unconstitutional money system) We do have all the Aces on our side, but we need play them. the federal reserve is broke and need to be called to account. We the people have a large gold reserve waiting for us, because not all Israelite people are bad , just some of them are. But ,it is up to us to do our part, and get those dual citizens and a few of their buddies, out of where they don't belong controlling our money system. They are CRIMINALS .(unconstitutional practices)
