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, 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, start to 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 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 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: 1) There is no
> such thing as a free lunch 2) and you can never hire
> someone to provide a service for you cheaper than
> you can do it yourself.

lots of truth to it
