How Do You Catch Wild Pigs?

A very dear friend sent this to me in an e-mail. I thought it was
important enough to put here in blog form. I hope you will read this with an
open mind and think about what it happening in our country today.
Be Blessed! Proverbs 29:2 Jesus Is LORD!! 

  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 (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 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, 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 ignore this or say that I am
not right about what is happening in America now but God help you when the
gate slams shut!

In this 'very important' election year, listen closely to what the
candidates are promising you !! Just maybe you will be able to tell
who is about to slam the gate on America.

to take away everything you have.' - Thomas Jefferson
