On hunger and fishing

The other day, we were discussing how bad governments sometimes deliberately paralyze the education system. Chris came up with a nice way of putting it:
“Give a man a fish; you have fed him for today. Teach a man to fish; and you have fed him for a lifetime. But if you can prevent a man from learning how to fish, then he will be very grateful if you ever gave him a fish.”

While checking my phrasing of this proverb, I came across this. Not quite so enlightening, but entertaining nonetheless :)
