This was sent to me by Kelsea, she is the 17 year old daughter of a close friend of mine. Kelsea is going to be a Political Science Professor after college. Thank God!!!

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 delete
this email, but God help you when the gate slams shut!

big enough to take away everything you have.' ... Thomas Jefferson
