Thought I'd throw that out there before our liberal friends beat it to death.

Just another reason to read animal farm.

Great book!

How about this interpretation?

The corn feed represents easy money. The farmer is the creditor. The pig is the borrower/consumer (not very flattering, to say the least). The fences are the legislation, bought by the farmer/creditor, that not only keep the pig/debtor bottled up FOR the farmer/creditor but allow him to throw the feed/easy money at the pigs. All the little piggies in the pen.

But this is just one of an infinite amount of interpretations.

I think the state has put down enough of those critters up here that just a few landowners worry about them tearing up their fields. Those critters at 400+ pounds scare the hell out of people. I know a woman who has been forced by her husband to carry a 9 mm pistol and it wouldn't do anything but make one of those things mad. He and his sons carry 30.30 rifles and plan to kill when they shoot. They don't even try to have a yard out there on the range since the critters tear them up at night.

I know the pigs are the people and the corn is all the entitlements so...What are the fences???
1. Civil rights leading to affirmative action, the "re-vamping" of the school systems, the tearing down of american values and the general dumbing down of the population.
2. International Free trade agreements like NAFTA leading to the outsourcing of jobs and industry.
3. 9/11 and the loss of many of our civil liberties along with 2 wars we can't afford.
4. The whole credit/banking debacle.

Thoughts???

Default How to create chaos try to catch a pig.

First you take three pigs. Grease them up right!

Number the pigs with large tags 1, 2 and 4. Turn them loose.

Watch the chaos ensue.
