I got this email today, was it from someone from realcent? Do we have a Mary Parker here? Anyhow this is what it said.
"An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had
never failed a single student before,
But had once failed an entire class.
--------------------------------------------
That class had insisted that Obama's socialism worked and that no one
would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.
The professor then said, "OK,
We will have an experiment in this class on Obama's plan".
All grades would be averaged and everyone would receive the same
Grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A.
After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B.
The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied
little were happy.
As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had
studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted
a free ride too so they studied little.
The second test average was a D!
No one was happy.
When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F.
The scores never increased as bickering,
Blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would
Study for the benefit of anyone else.
All failed, to their great surprise, and the professor told them that
Socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great,
The effort to succeed is great but when government takes all the reward
Away, no one will try or want to succeed.
Could not be any simpler than that..
(Please pass this on)"

They learned this same lesson at the Plymouth Colony. After many starved to death the first winter, they abandoned their socialist scheme... Things were so bad in fact, the the local Indians took pity on the sorry-azz socialists and brought them food... so was born Thanksgiving...... |

| Some people think they can alter and change socialism to work out, but it always ends in failure. |
Trolling is an art. |
