A Lesson In Socialism

"Professor in classroom "



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 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
Socialism. 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.

Georgetown University and Obama

It seems that President Obama is upsetting the Christian community with every passing day and several of his decisions. His term is definitely going to be interesting.
I have been reading the CNN News site and the comments by the readers. It seems that whenever something happens in one religious sect, then others have to get into arguments over their views of the right religion to belong to.

This is what really is detrimental to Christianity. Jesus taught love and then man made churches and expanded 2 basic commandments given by Jesus into several rules and regulations. Of course this post is probably going to get me condemned by the legalistic believers.

When we are promoting Christianity, why do we start arguments with others who do not attend our church? Remember that people might be reading your views. When you admit that you are a Christian, do you examine the image you give out? I do not think bashing someone who says they are a Christian because they do not fall into your cookie cutter mold of what a Christian is gains many followers.

How many Christians hate? We should exam our hearts first before we think we can judge or change the hearts of others. There is only ONE Judge, and guess what? We are going to meet him one day.

Do you want to change President Obama? Pray for him, and ask that he be granted wisdom, and acts upon the truth.

What Did You Do This Weekend?

I just found this video of how one man stays in great shape. My feet are rebelling after watching this. However it was fun to watch all that this guy does.




I wonder if this video will lead to a new Tarzan, or Governor of California one day.
You never know.

I read he is French though. Maybe he can train today's army. His name is Erwan Le Corre.

Here is a link to the blog that I found the video on. This is a great fitness blog.
