Good read
Damn crazy how all this is true.






"Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has
been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was since his
birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape.



He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as knowing
when to come in out of
The rain, why the early bird gets the worm, why life isn't always fair,
and
how, on occasion, maybe it was my fault.



Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more
than you earn) and reliable parenting strategies (adults, not children are
in charge).



His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well intentioned but
overbearing regulations were set into place. Reports of a six-year-old boy
charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from
school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding
an unruly student, only worsened his condition.



Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job
they themselves failed to do in disciplining their unruly children. It
declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to
administer aspirin, sun lotion or a sticky plaster to a student; but could
not inform the parents when a
Student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.



Common Sense lost the will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband
and churches became businesses. Common Sense took a beating when you
couldn't defend yourself from a burglar
In your own home and the burglar can sue you for assault.



Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to
realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her
lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.



Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents, Truth and Trust; his
wife, Discretion; his daughter, Responsibility; and his son, Reason. He is
survived by three stepbrothers; I Know my Rights, Someone Else is to Blame,
and I'm a
Victim.



Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. If you
still remember him pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing.





Ain't it the truth !!!!!!!!!!!!"

I pray that the death of common sense, like Mark Twain stated, is greatly exaggerated.
