The Death Of Common sence

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows 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 rain
...why the early bird gets the worm
...life isn't always fair
...and maybe it was my fault

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

His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but
overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6 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 sence lost ground when parents attacked a teacher for doing
the job they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly
children.

It declined even further when schools were required to get parental
consent to administer sun lotion or aspirin to a student; but could not
inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted an abortion.

Common sense lost the will to live as churches became more like businesses and criminals
received better treatment than their victims.

Common sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burgalar
in your own home and the burglar could 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 it on her lap and sued for millions.

Common sense was preceded by his parents Truth and Trust, his wife, Discretion his daughter responsibility and his son Reason.
He is survived by his 4 step brothers;
...I know my rights
...I want it now
...Someone else is to blame
...I'm a victim.

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