Subject: Death Of Common Sense
>
> My parents told me about Mr. Common Sense early in my life and told me I would
do well to call on him when making decisions. It seems he was always around in
my early years but less and less as time passed by until today I read his
obituary. Please join me in a moment of silence in remembrance. For Common Sense
had served us all so well for so many generations.

> The Obituary of
> 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 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 in plac e. 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;
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 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.

As Linda said in her book...
Why is it called "common" sense when it is "not common" at all to people?

Although she said it with other words.
