Wild Pigs - A Reminder For Us All

An individual shared this with me recently and I found it interesting. However, let me be clear about something from the beginning. I am not posting this because I see it as commentary on a particular political party or individual. This is an issue much bigger than individuals or political parties, this touches something that has been taking place in America for decades and has been exacerbated by members from both sides of the political aisle, who all have their own agendas. This is about control, because control is power, and that is what fuels the agendas of both the right and left, make no mistake about that. The difference is how that control is administered, which separates the Republicans from the Democrats or any of the other political candidates and parties. The bottom line is it’s about control no matter how it is administered. With that being said, all you Obama haters and Liberals don’t think I am in either of your camps because I see all of you as the same thing. I would hope you would read this without trying to assign blame to anyone or any political movement. Read it for the truth and nothing more.

Wild Pigs – A Reminder For All

A thought to remember, Marx said: “Remove one freedom per generation and soon you will have no freedom and no one would have noticed.”

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 every day to eat the free food. 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 exemptions, tobacco subsidies, dairy subsidies, payments not to plant crops (CRP), welfare entitlements, medicine, drugs, etc., while we continually lose our freedoms, just a little at a time. But God help us all when the gate slams shut!

One should always remember two truths:

- There is no such thing as a free lunch.

- You can never hire someone to provide a service for you cheaper than you can do it yourself.
