Catching Wild Pigs
A Chemistry professor in a large college had some exchange students in the class. One day the Professor noticed one young man ( an exchange student) who kept rubbinghis back, and stretching as if his back hurt.When the professor asked him what was the matter. the student .stated he had been shot while fighting communists in his native country who were trying to overthrow his country's government and install a communist government. He ended up with a bullet lodged in his back
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 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 that are used to the free corn come through the gate to eat, and then 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. He 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, etc, etc. While we continue to 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. So, 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 the US's way of life then you will probably delete this email, 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. Ask yourself, are you a "wild pig" eating the corn?
China has learned some good stuffs from America and has gained some achievements even it still calls itself a Chinese Style Socialism. Actually it is a socialist capitalism .China in Chinese means a central ( or neutral ) country, not extremely left nor right for a lot of things ,even for the economical reform. Chinese understood they could not change 180 degree like Russian did because it would be a disaster for a train carrying 1.3 billion people to make a sharp turn. Gradually the Chinese government understand the socialism encourages people to be lazy. Hard workers got punishment and lazy bones got benefits. That is against human nature which has good side and bad side. A good system should set up regulations and laws to encourage the good side to work and the bad side to the archive, encourage people to feel proud to be rich (Don't feel jealousy about Mcaine's seven houses and 13 cars.), not try to punish them(unless they violate the rule); otherwise who wants to work harder to be rich?
