Am I Human?

What I think this gets down to are the following particulars:

Necessity is a Mother

The entire phrase has been: “Necessity is the mother of invention.” However, in my experience, it is much more telling to just say: “Necessity is a Mother.” ’cause most people get what that means. I can think of many situations where I have been driven by Necessity even tho’ what I ended up doing was […]

Do the citizens of the United States have the right to choose their own destiny OR have we become Victims of our fear of confrontation? I remember a time when the United States was a proud nation with family origins from almost everywhere in the […]

I believe Marriage is…

The ‘when able’ phrase can include Adoption, Foster Parenting, Surrogate Parenting and […]

The Fast Lane: An Enigma

Many people who drive have a preference for one of the lanes on a highway over the others. My experience has shown me that most of the folks who are driving in the slow lane are planning to get off the highway at one of the exits that are coming up pretty soon.  Although, some […]
