"... teach him to fish and he'll sit in a boat all day and drink beer!!!!!!!!!!"

    Give him a fish then take away his right to fish...and you have a very controllable dependant. A trained seal so to speak.

    Another way of saying teach him to be responsible for himself.

    And if the fishing is bad for a few days, the government will put him on food stamps.

    I always loved that quote followed by the one about drinking beer in the boat all day, but I had to modify it for today’s socialist world. Modern version: Give a man a government entitlement and he will return the next day with his family wanting more as he promptly forgets how to fend for himself and slowly relinquishes his freedom. - Doug Stevenson

    The last thing our government bureaucrats want is for us to learn how to fish -- unless we are going to give it to them!

    The quote raises a good point; to be able to teach the hungry is like feeding him, but only going half the effort, or rather, half the time that it would take to feed him forever.
