The Loss of Common Sense!

Not Written by me, but who ever did it should have put his name on it. No common sense here either, So I decided to use it. We'll, see if I have any common sense now too.

Orbituary: The Sad Passing 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 surehow old he was since his birth records were long ago lost inbureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as knowing when to come in out of the rain, whythe early bird gets the worm, life isn't always fair, and maybe itwas my fault. Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you earn) and reliable parentingstrategies (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 six-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended fromschool for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired forreprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition. Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job they failed to do in disciplining theirunruly children It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer Panadol, sun lotion or asticky plaster to a student; but, could not inform the parents when astudent became pregnant 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 cansue you for assault. Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realise that a steaming cup of coffee washot She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded ahuge settlement. Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents, Truth and Trust; his wife, Discretion; his daughter, Responsibility; and hisson, 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 realised he was gone. If you still remember him pass this on. If not join the majority and do nothing.
