Dj vu, SSers and Native Americans....

It happened even B4 then. Look at what it was like in England years ago. You couldn't hunt deer because they belonged to the king. (Of course that didn't stop people from doing it anyway.) And, I'm sure if we were to dig hard enough, we'd find example after example.

My great-great grandpa actually shot one of the king's deer! He then stowed-away on a boat to America to keep from being arrested.

We are systematically being turned into a nation of serfs.

We work longer into the year now to pay our taxes than the English peasant farmers worked for their overlords. Tax freedom day this year was April 12th.

Read the history of the Pima Indians sometime. TheY use to be one of the tallest, healthiest, most prosperous tribe on the continent.

The gooberment first cut off their water supply which destroyed their crops and then gave them sugar, white flour and tobacco. Now they are among the poorest, obese and malnourished tribes.

I wasn't thinking about the Indians, but our current situation is similar to what contributed to the downfall of the Roman Empire...the emperors, in order to stay in power, kept trying to appease the "mob" by giving them more & more without requiring anything in return, until the country became a majority of "takers" with few "givers"...sound familiar?

How to catch wild pigs.

1. Put out some corn for the pigs to eat. Put it out every day in the same location.

2. Once the pigs are coming every day for the free food, put up one side of a fence. The pigs may be leery for a few days, but they'll be back.

3. Repeat step 2 until you have 4 sides of fencing up, w/just an opening for a gate.

4. Install the gate, but don't close.

5. Once the pigs are completely comfortable coming for the free corn, and it doesn't bother them to be in the pen, shut the gate.

Here is a better version:

How to catch stupid people who think they have freedom but under appreciate it..

1. Put out some food stamps where the lazy can eat. Put it out every month in the same location.

2. One the lazy are coming every month for the free food, put up one side of a free healthcare system....

3. Repeat step 2 until you have free everything for some while the rest work to pay for it.

4. Buy votes for a crappy administration to "serve" the lazy folks.

5. Once the lazy are completely comfortable, kill the ones who work for them by over taxing, under serving, and working them to absolute death until just the lazy are left. Then everyone else can bend right over and smooch their big lazy....um...GOODBYE!

YOU LOSE! And so do you and you and you and you and.......

Amen! I do like that pig catching method though!
