CHANELING MOMS MABLEY
CHANNELING MOMS MABLEY
Focusing unduly upon laws loses sight of the people, who are more important than any laws, be they ever so humble! Similarly, unduly focusing upon upon streetlights loses sight of cars. The cars are far more important than streetlights!
Comedienne Moms Mabley once said, in teaching children how to cross the street, "Damn the lights! Watch the cars!" Amen 🙏🏿 Moms!
Similarly, Scofflaws never obey the very laws that they make. That is for others, underling voters, their admirers, and supporters. About them, I say, "Damn the laws, watch the people!" Channeling Moms Mabley!
