only if you will

This is truly thought provoking.

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 communists in his native country who were trying to overthrow

his country's government and install a new communist regime.

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 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
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, come through the gate to eat that free corn again. You
then slam the gate on them and catch the whole herd. Suddenly the wild
pigs have lost their freedom. They run around an d around inside the
fence, but they are caught. So 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 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, tax cuts, tax exemptions, 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 two truths: There is no such thing as a
free lunch and 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 our way of life, then you will probably delete this email. But God
help you when the gate slams shut!

The only thing I can add to this is a question for you......Which
candidates out there are most anxious to spread around the feed corn,
and what might their motives be? Think about it.
