Common Sense
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;-
Life isn't always fair; - And maybe it was
my fault. Common Sense lived by simple,
sound financial policies, don't spend more
than you can earn and 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
Sense lost ground when parents attacked
teachers for doing the job that 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 an aspirin to a student; but could not
inform parents when a student became
pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.
Common Sense lost the will to live as the
churches became businesses; and
criminals received better treatment than
their victims. Common Sense took a
beating when you couldn't defend yourself
from a burglar 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 a little in her lap, and was
promptly awarded a huge settlement.
Common Sense was preceded in death, by
his parents, Truth and Trust, by his wife
Discretion, his daughter Responsibility,
and his son, Reason. He is survived by his
4 stepbrothers; 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 on. If
not, do nothing
