Wise king

Many years ago there lived a wise king who one day called his scholars together and asked them to write down all of the knowledge they had accumulated so that future generations could build on that. A year later they returned with 12 large volumes and he said, no, no. People will not have time to read that, go back and condense it. A year later they returned with one large book and he sent them away again. Finally three years later they handed him a piece of paper and he read it and said that is what I was looking for and the on the paper was written one sentence and it said, “there ain’t no free lunch”! If you were raised in a home where you were taught that you must work to support yourself, you understand the message but if you were brought up in a well fare home you may not. What was your home like? When President Obama came out five years ago and announced that his new health care plan would insure 31 million new people and it would not cost anything, did you believe that. Do you think he believed that? The answer depends on how you grew up.
