Thread: Catching Wild Pigs

Catching Wild pigs

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, 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.

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!

That is really sad.

Nice story.

If you think about how much money the Federal Reserve brings in for the men that created it you can see they would have a lot of money to build fence.

I'm not real good with finances but if you take the 7,000,000,000,000 and figure the interest we pay in just one year is about 280,000,000,000 at 4% interest.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Now that would just be part of the money we owe just on the debt. Our country also has many banks that also have borrowed money from the Federal Reserve. Then you have all of the other countries of the world that have dealings with them. They were already doing business in other countries before they bribed us as a prized pearl on their string.


There is also a lot of money there to buy a lot of corn. The beauty of the deal is the more corn we gobble up the more interest we owe.

See what I'm getting at.

Now think about all of the politicians that are pushing to get as many illegal invaders on food stamps and such. Could it be that the men that bribed the Federal Reserve into existence didn't stop bribing people a hundred years ago but have many involved in helping them manipulate there way since then, legal or not.

Then you have the government and its money driving it's own agenda.


"There doubtless are many causes for the loss of freedom, but surely a major cause has been the growth of government and its increasing control of our lives. Today, government, directly or indirectly, controls the spending of as much as half our national income." - Milton Friedman, Nobel laureate in Economics - 1998

If I volunteered to pay off only one trillion of the national dept it would take a long time.

At the rate of 1 dollar a second it would take about 221,968 years.

If I've got it right.

And never lost track!
