NECESSITY

"Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves." William Pitt the younger.

Pitt was the youngest person to become Prime Minister of England in 1783 at the age of 24. Isn't this the chorus we're hearing now as certain groups are taking a meat ax the safety nets for the least among us?
