When GOD made the oyster, He guaranteed him absolute economic and social security. He built the oyster a house, a shell to protect him from his enemies. When hungry, the oyster simply opens his shell and food rushes in for him.
But when GOD made the eagle, He said, "The blue sky is the limit. Build your own house." So the eagle built on the highest mountain crag where storms threaten every day. For food he flies through miles of rain and snow and wind. 
The eagle, not the oyster, is the emblem of America.
I found this in some of my mothers old papers I was going through this weekend. She passed 20 years ago. This was a woman who was blinded at birth, yet never received a dime of government assistance. She raised two sons, then put herself through college and worked the rest of her life as a medical transcriptist. Its all what you make out of your life. If you want to do better you will, if you want something for nothing, then you
will never amount to anything.

        The end result of a socialist is the same as a communist. The communist is just in a hurry and has a gun.
