Necessity is a Mother

February 15, 2021

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.

Have we become TOO Politically Correct or TOO Corrected Politically? 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?
